Lancaster Postgraduate Statistics Centre:
Creating enterprise and innovation in statistics teaching across disciplines

In 2005 Lancaster University was awarded a multi-million pound grant to fund a Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL). The Lancaster Postgraduate Statistics Centre (PSC) has the core aim of promoting excellence in teaching statistics to postgraduates across a range of disciplines. The diverse interests of the Statistics group provide a unique research-led approach to teaching with a strong practical emphasis on skills acquisition. This talk will describe the breadth and diversity of the work of the new centre.
