HANDS-ON QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS WORKSHOPS FOR POSTDOCS
Do you want to refresh your memory in terms of analysing quantitative data with SPSS? Perhaps you would like to learn how to practically do some statistical analyses you have not done before.
The Graduate Support Hub will organise hands-on data analysis training workshops which may be of interest to you. The workshops are part of the UCDP project focused on academic researchers/supervisors. The hands-on workshops listed below will be conducted in a computer lab where attendees will have access to SPSS software. The first workshop is introductory and it forms a foundation for subsequent workshops.
The lab accommodates a maximum of 40 candidates, and bookings will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Only booked candidates will be allowed to attend the workshops because only 40 people can be accommodated.
If interested, you are invited to book through the links provided below.
More details (venue, programme, etc.) will be provided to booked candidates only.
