Registration process

STAT0026 is specified as a formal option within the BSc Cancer Biomedicine programme. Students from this programme should simply register for STAT0026 on Portico and await a decision. It is not necessary to register separately with a member of staff in the Department of Statistical Science (successful admission to an undergraduate programme at UCL already demonstrates that the prerequisite has been met).

STAT0026 is NOT offered as an elective.
