Teaching

The Biostatistics Research Group teach on a number of courses within the University. Our main teaching responsibilities is on delivery of the MSc Medical Statistics, a course that has been running for over 30 years. We currently receive funding for studentships; see the course webpages for further details of the course and how to apply.

Over the last few years we also contributed to other courses within the University including,

As part of our mission to transfer novel methodology and best statistical practice into applied research, we teach a number of external courses. For example, over the last few years we have delivered courses on:

Population-based cancer survival analysis
Bayesian Evidence Synthesis for Decision Modelling
Indirect and mixed treatment comparisons (Network meta-analysis)
Using simulation studies to evaluate statistical methods
Flexible parametric survival models in epidemiology
Parametric competing risks and multistate models
Joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data
Age Period Cohort modelling using population-based cancer data
Feasibility issues relating to studies of a stepped wedge design
Evidence synthesis of diagnostic test accuracy for decision making
Meta-Analysis: Exploring Heterogeneity in Populations, Settings, Interventions and Outcome Measures
Bayesian multivariate meta-analysis with application to surrogate endpoint evaluation and extensions to multivariate network meta-analysis.

Please get in contact if you are interested in attending or commissioning any of these.
