Numerical and analytic skills are highly prized by employers, and provide graduates with a competitive edge in the job market, or when applying for future courses of study. This module will introduce a range of modern analysis techniques used in both academic and commercial domains. Concepts will be taught with reference to real examples and controversies, and practical sessions will give students hands on experience of implementing the techniques. Former students have gone on to varied and interesting careers in analytical roles, including working for the Government Statistical Service and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
