Do you want to know how to use online tools to access and analyse UK census data from the UK Data Service?

The UK Data Service is a rich source of census data. In December, we are holding a series of three introductory online workshops aimed at showing census users the key tools of accessing and analysing census aggregate data, flow data and microdata from the UK Data Service. These three workshops are free to attend.

The workshops will include a presentation, demonstration, exercises and follow-up discussion. Participants will be given worksheets and use our free online tools to complete the activities.

Level: Introductory Experience/knowledge required: None Target audience: Anyone interested in using census data to produce basic analyses using census data for any purpose, such as for research, reports or student dissertations
