The course is conducted in English. Full competence in English, written and spoken is an essential requirement.
Entry requirements
A working knowledge of basic statistics is strongly desirable. We will provide a self-assessment test to judge the level of statistical skills and brief revision of statistics up to multiple linear regression. An introduction to the statistical package Stata will be provided in addition to the specific impact evaluation techniques. It is assumed that participants will be familiar with the Windows operating system.
