The application of statistical methods plays an essential role within the medical sciences and health related disciplines. This course will provide students with the understanding and practical expertise in applying cutting-edge statistical methods that are widely used in health and medical research and in epidemiology. A major strength of the course is that it focuses on the application of statistical methods, giving students the experience in handling and analysing data.
Dundee is ideally placed to deliver this course. Co-Director of the course, Professor Peter Donnan, leads the Dundee Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit (DEBU) and is Co-Director of the Tayside Clinical Trials Unit (TCTU) which has UK registration. The Division also houses the internationally renowned Health Informatics Centre (HIC) which provides researchers access to anonymised record-linked routinely collected NHS patient datasets for the whole population. Students will therefore be working in a research rich environment for both observational studies and clinical trials where a variety of study designs and data analyses are used to improve health and the quality of healthcare.
