How does the level of APTS courses compare with those given under the EPSRC/RSS Graduate Training Programme (GTP) in statistics?
A. The aim of APTS is to provide a systematic annual cycle of courses appropriate to typical first-year research students. Course modules are specified in such a way that the level will (a) be relatively homogeneous across modules, and (b) not presume more than a strong background in undergraduate mathematics including statistics and probability.
