Development Studies at the Economic Analysis Unit (EAU);

Library and Information Science at Documentation Research and Training Centre; and

Mathematics and Statistics at the Statistics and Mathematics Unit.

Part-time Certificate Course

This course is intended to provide intensive training in the theory and practice of Statistical Quality Control (SQC) to working executives. Emphasis is on equipping the students with the basic practical skills in SQC approach with sufficient theory to understand the principles involved and to develop in them the power of systematic thinking, practical approach and exposition.

The course is held twice a year: sessions starting in January and July. Classes are scheduled on Saturday/Sundays and runs spanning a period of around 9 months.
