Graduate Diploma in Applied Statistics

If you have a qualification in another area but wish to learn more about statistics or move to a full statistics degree, the Graduate Diploma in Applied Statistics (GradDipApplStat) is a great stepping stone.

This qualification will give you an understanding and skills in the application of statistical methods, rather than an understanding of the underlying theory.
