Quantitative Methods module (BU52016)

The module assumes no prior knowledge of quantitative methods and will provide an intuitive grasp of the theoretical concepts and basic skills required to estimate and interpret statistics. In particular, the module aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to use statistics in their research in accounting or finance, to introduce students to statistical thinking, to enable students to identify and carry out appropriate statistical tests, to introduce students to the SPSS statistical software and for students to be able to recognise when they are out of their depth statistically.
