The School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin offers, in each academic year, a part time course leading to the Postgraduate Diploma in Statistics. The course provides a broad introduction to the statistical ideas and methods relevant to data gathering and analysis in a wide variety of research areas as well as business and administration. The intention is to provide participants with a practical grasp of statistics based on a sound knowledge of the underlying ideas and concepts.
