Today, more than ever, statistics is part of our lives. Introducing Statistics is the OU’s first ever Level 1 module specifically in statistics.

Its introduction not only ensures a full compliment of maths and statistics modules at Level 1, it also ensures statistics is an integral part of all our undergraduate provision at Levels 1, 2 and 3.

In the module (M140) you will learn how to use basic statistical tools and quantitative methods that are useful in business, government, industry, medicine, the economy and most academic subjects.

Using data from a range of applications, you’ll learn practical statistical techniques and fundamental principles.

Find out more about the content, what you will learn and how to register.

Join the mathematics and statistics online community.

Listen to Tim Harford on his regular OU / BBC Radio 4 programme More or Less where he "explains the numbers and statistics in the news and in life."
