This programme, offered in support of the Government Statistical Service, provides specialist skills and knowledge in statistics and data science. It is particularly suitable if you are employed in an analytical profession in the UK Government or equivalent organisations in the UK and abroad.

It is designed to provide you with the specialist skills and knowledge which are central to conducting professional statistical work within government.
