Abstract

The use of a project-based approach for designing a one-year graduate level programme in applied statistics is addressed. The pedagogical approach, academic setting, and learning activities are described in a multidisciplinary context. Some comments on implementation of such a programme based on the results from five successive graduating classes at the University of Veracruz (1994-2000) are included.
