University Students

The right statistics can go a long way to support your academic studies and assignments. Accurate data can provide the basis for your argument as well as the vital evidence for your conclusions. And whether you are studying human geography, social history or business and marketing, the census is an unrivalled source of information and produces a fantastic range of up-to-date information (on topics including health, education, transport, housing, ethnicity, nationality and age) that you can use in your academic studies.

Examples of the impact of census data:

Geography students from the University of Reading helped to analyse 2011 Census statistics for local government officials. The results can be seen on the University's website.
