Welcome to the Data Skills for Economics module (Sep 2023-24 cohort)!

The overall aim of this module is to Introduce students to the basics of statistical concepts and theories and develop students’ understanding and skills in analysing data. This module will provide the basics of probability and statistical theory, but also give the students intuitions of its use in practical examples. The module will also emphasise learning via analysing data. Through the workshops, students will become familiar with statistical software (Excel and SPSS) that is used in the workplace. Additionally, the module will foster critical thinking about data, its collection and representation.
