Postgraduate Assistance Scheme
If you are a Masters by research, PhD or MD student of the University of Melbourne, the Statistical Consulting Centre has a centrally-funded service for you. We offer:
At no charge, up to five hours of statistical advice to any Masters by research, PhD or MD student in 2007, up to a candidature limit of ten hours. If you have previously seen a consultant and think you may be close to this limit, please contact the Centre.
The fine print:
- The purpose of the service is to assist Masters by research, PhD or MD students with their research, not coursework. Graduate diploma students will not be eligible for the service.
- The emphasis in the statistical advice will be on education and training.
- If you need help beyond five hours, this will be on a fee-paying basis.
- We require that you be currently enrolled.
You will need to bring a copy of the "Statistical consulting service to post-graduate students" form signed by your supervisor to your first consultation. This form can be downloaded from here. The consultants may decline to provide statistical assistance to students without a signed form.
The Statistical Consulting Centre offers advice, statistical consulting and data analysis to staff and postgraduate students within the University and others outside the University.
Consultants can assist with all stages of a research project and postgraduates are strongly encouraged to see a consultant when they are planning their study. When you have reached the stage of entering or analysing your data, you can prepare for meeting with a consultant by following these guidelines.
Send a request to the Centre if you need further information about the course Statistics for Research Workers or any other courses.
