About this course
This Data Analysis and Interpretation module offers you the ability to understand and evaluate statistical data with the use of software. You will also gain an understanding of how appropriate statistical techniques are chosen for a particular context.
You will develop information technology and academic writing skills to present and interpret statistical information in a report. This module does not assume previous statistical knowledge and the analyses included in the teaching and assessment are those which are commonly seen in health-related research and policy papers.
You will be assessed 100% through coursework. The module can be taken on campus in the September run (12 weeks) and online in the January run (6 weeks). You may also take this module as part of a programme of study.
