Q. How can I get help with my data analysis?

The Academic Success Team offers support for many aspects of data analysis – both quantitative and qualitative – including:

• Developing research questions and hypotheses
• Planning data collection
• Choosing appropriate statistical tests
• Using tools such as online survey platforms
• Analysing data with software like R, SPSS, Excel or NVivo
• Interpreting and reporting results

Tutors can guide you through your own work but cannot carry out analyses on your behalf.

Support is available through regular drop-in sessions in both libraries (no booking required) and through bookable appointments, which can take place in person or online via Teams. All students are welcome, and sessions are free.

You can also access extra support through the Academic Success Team’s Maths and Statistics Canvas course, which includes videos, step-by-step guides, and self-study resources. You can self-enrol at any time.
