Entry Requirements

  • A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent. If you do not meet the minimum academic requirement, you may still be considered if you have relevant work experience, preferably with one or more of:

    • basic knowledge of programming in, e.g., Python, R or JavaScript,
    • experience using Adobe Illustrator or equivalent,
    • experience creating basic visualisations in, e.g., Excel, SAS, Tableau or PowerBI,
    • other similar experience working with data

  • You MUST provide proof acceptable by the Home Office for English at an acceptable level to understand the course.

If you are unsure whether you meet any criteria please send your CV to bayes-training@ed.ac.uk. Please take a look also at the answers to common questions from applicants on the process, along with detail on eligibility for fee waivers.

English Language Requirements

Because this is a university-accredited course you must meet the university's formal language requirements. This means that you must demonstrate English language competency at a level that will enable you to succeed in your studies, regardless of your nationality or country of residence. Please confirm that you meet all requirements as early as possible – detail at language requirements; current restrictions due to COVID have increased delay registering for and taking any tests necessary.

Fees and Funding

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) Upskilling Fund is providing a fixed number of fee waivers for participants who meet at least one of the following criteria.

You qualfy for the fee waivers if one the following is true:

  • anyone living in Scotland for the last three years for reasons other than education,
  • any EU citizen living in the EU no matter if student of worker
  • anyone living in the rest of the UK and working for a Scottish employer (an employer which is based in or has a significant presence in Scotland).
  • PhD students, RAs, and other academic staff at a Scottish or EU university (not including the rest of the UK).

You do not qualify for fee waivers if all of the following applies:

  • anyone living in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland without ties to a Scottish employer
  • anyone in the world (outside Scotland and EU) without ties to a Scottish employer
  • anyone living in Scotland for less than 3 years for work purposes.
  • bachelor or master students currently enrolled in a Scottish university

If you do not qualify for the SFC funding you may still qualify for funding under the new National Transition Training Fund.

Please see eligibility requirements for funding, or contact bayes-training@ed.ac.uk for more detail.

The course fee is £915. While those who obtain fee waivers will be prioritised in allocating places, we do have availability for fee-paying participants, both within and outwith Scotland.
