Student Experience

University is more than attending your modules. No matter whether you are interested in extending your research skills, joining one of our networks or societies, or making your voice heard, there's an opportunity for you to work with both staff and other students in the department.

Have Your Say

Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC)

The Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) provides a voice for students to share their feedback with the department. The SSLC is discussion space where students and the department work together to focus the student voice into enhancing your experience.

To contact your Statistics representatives, contact . This email is managed by the SSLC Chair and Secretary, who are both students.

Module Evaluation

We evaluate you by marking your coursework and exams. In turn, you evaluate us.

During term, we'll invite you to complete an online evaluation questionnaire. This gives you the opportunity to express your views on various aspects of the module. We really value the feedback we receive from you, and are often able to make improvements after hearing your thoughts and suggestions.

Departmental management reviews comments and publishes a summary of results.

National Student Survey (NSS)

As a final-year student, you’re an expert on life at Warwick and your experience and opinions are vital.

The NSS is your chance to look back on your university experience and share your views on everything, including the teaching on your course, access to resources and equipment, student voice opportunities, and more.

Teaching Awards

The Department of Statistics runs a teaching prize to recognise good teaching, enhance teaching excellence and support sharing of good practice. The teaching prize was inaugurated in 2019.

Previous winners include Dr Elke Thönnes, Dr Massimiliano Tamborrino, Dr Giuseppe Cannizzaro and Dr Richard Everitt. During Term 2 you are invited to submit nominations for any members of staff from the department of Statistics.

Study Support and Spaces

SMASH - Statistics Modules Assistance and Support Hub

This is a support scheme for all first and second year students who want support on Statistics modules. There are informal drop-in sessions with specific slots for Year 1 and Year 2 students during term time.

You can come along and work in the space and get support when needed or just turn up and ask specific questions and go. Either is fine!

We can help with understanding: notes, ideal solutions and general guidance on problem solving.
