The contribution that Informatics has made to the statistical field is incalculable, based on the development of increasingly specialized software capable of carrying out complex processes related to research and the understanding of the data that supports the actions that a certain subject (whether individual, a company, for a study, etc.) wishes to undertake. In this way, it is possible to work with larger information flows, while considerably reducing the time spent on statistical analysis and improving results.

Based on this and considering the latest advances in programming and algorithms as a reference, TECH and its team of specialists in Computer Engineering and Finance have developed this Postgraduate diploma in Statistical Software, a 100% online academic experience that promises to become an exclusive and exhaustive guide to develop detailed knowledge of this field. It is a degree that, during 450 hours of diverse content, will enable graduates to delve into the elements of a program and its structuring, in the documentation and in the resourcefulness of financial applications.In addition, you will acquire a top-level mastery of the SPSS and R environment to perform effective and efficient object operations.

In this way, in just 6 months of multidisciplinary education, you will improve your professional skills through a program that includes the latest developments in the sector. You will also have access to high-quality use cases and additional material: in-depth videos, research articles, further reading, news, self-awareness exercises, and much more. Everything will be available on the Virtual Campus from the startof the academic experience, which the graduate can access from any device with an Internet connection. In this way, graduates will specialize independently and through a degree in which they will decide when and where to take it themselves.

A degree with which you will acquire an exhaustive mastery of the SPSS and R environments managed by the best experts”
