Teaching methods include lectures, practicals, group work, workshops and seminars. All but two units are compulsory; the dissertation is also compulsory and is undertaken during the final term and over the summer. The programme will introduce you to the statistical software R for statistical computing and graphics, and data handling, manipulation and analysis.

The taught units will contribute 120 credits and the dissertation 60 credits to the overall degree. Your dissertation, on a research topic of your choice, will take the form of a journal article and a poster presentation, opening the possibility of submission for publication.
