About Us

Statistical Consultation

The Statistical Consultation Services (SCS) of the Potchefstroom Campus of North-West University has been in existence since 1980. 

SCS provides assistance to:

  • North-West University post graduate students and personnel.

  • Other universities’ post graduate students and personnel.

  •  Any private sector clients (persons and institutions not affiliated with any university).

*SCS only provides assistance with quantitative aspects of research.

Note:

SCS recommends that clients should consult with SCS during planning stages of a research project, and not only after data has been collected.

Also, if it is a student project, then the supervisor / promoter must accompany the student during the first consultation.
