We will announce the courses for Basic Statistics on Monday 18 May 2026 at 10:00.

Please note that all the Basic Statistics for Researchers courses are taught in English from now on.

Equally, if you are enrolled in one of the courses, you will be removed from the waiting list on the other courses. (However, you can be enrolled in both Introduction to R and Basic Statistics for R).

The courses that will be announced are:

• Basic statistics for health science researchers (10 Weeks), class 4, 5, 6 and 7
• Introduction to R for Basic Statistics – Enrolment priority for this course is reserved for students registered for the course Basic Statistics for Health Science Researchers (10 weeks) and Biostatistics for experimental medical researchers.  The registration deadline for the Introduction to R course is synchronized with these two courses. Therefore, all applicants will be put on the waiting list until the enrolment deadline.
