APTS Programme

The Academy for PHD Training in Statistics is a collaboration between nine major UK statistics research groups (at Bath, Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, Lancaster, Nottingham, Oxford, Southampton and Warwick) to organise courses for first-year PhD students in statistics and applied probability nationally. For its first five years of operation, APTS is funded by EPSRC.

The intention of APTS is to provide courses which will be attractive and relevant to the research preparation and background education of all UK PhD students in statistics and probability. APTS is open also to students from institutions outside the UK.

Information about the generic structure and content of APTS modules, and details of the eight modules themselves, can be found in the Module Specifications .
