Administrative data, indicators, and a briefing
Online or on campus
You learn what an indicator hides, how to show uncertainty, and how to write a briefing a non-specialist manager can use. Datasets are public or synthetic. University of Brigant teaches this award online and, where a cohort is formed, on campus. The 36 credit hours on this page are the sum of the modules listed in the curriculum, so the transcript and the prospectus describe the same load.
Assessment is coursework on each taught module plus the final project named in the curriculum. Results are recorded as credit hours against each module. Fees are the figures published by University of Brigant for this award; this page does not add a separate tuition claim.
Faculty spotlight
School of Social Sciences at University of Brigant supervises the modules and the final project. Supervision is assigned from that school, not from a visiting name shared with another institution.
