Mastering Data Analysis in R
Data analysis is crucial for anyone who wants to do and share their research. But there’s no getting around it… becoming a proficient data analyst is challenging!
You have to learn two difficult things at the same time: data analysis (with all its concepts and rules) and an entirely new language (in this case, R).
But fret not! Even if you have no prior knowledge in either of these areas, this course is designed to…
Make an R Guru out of you!
Course Design
Guiding you
As you learn new concepts, you will immediately practise what you learn in Hands-On Exercises (called “HEx-es”) during the lectures. If you have any questions, I will be there to answer them and clarify concepts on the spot.
Challenging you
Along the way, you will practise what you have learnt by analysing authentic research questions based on authentic datasets. This gives you a taste of what real data analysis is like and shows you that you now have the skills to do it.
Partnering with you
At the end of the course, you will analyse your own dataset (with my help and advice) to produce your own research presentation and report. This will help you to develop the confidence to become an independent data analyst.

“R is indeed very challenging, but Prof Ian has actually made me like R and statistics, and [it] turns out that the module I was most fearful of is now my favourite module!”
