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.
