The Academy for PhD training in statistics is a collaboration between nine prominent UK University statistics researchgroups, which delivers a basic core of first-year training to PhD students in statistics (including students of statisticalmethodology, applied statistics and applied probability) across the UK. This pooling of academic resources allows us tooffer new PhD students from across the UK a systematic, high quality grounding in the most essential mathematical,computational and statistical techniques, as well as authoritative overviews of important areas of statistical research. TheAcademy thus addresses directly some key concerns of the 2003 EPSRC/CMS International Review of Mathematicsabout the breadth and quality of UK PhD training and specifically the chronic shortage of well-trained researchstatisticians. Its success in doing this has been endorsed by the findings of an EPSRC-sponsored review by DTZ.Presently training is given to an annual cohort of more than 60 first year PhD students, coming from more than 30institutions in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Training is centred on four intensive residential weeks, each week involvingthe teaching of two APTS modules. The continuation of EPSRC funding will allow partial support of travel to APTS weeksfor participating EPSRC PhD students, contribute to preparation and updating of APTS modules, and cover centraladministration costs. This will facilitate the movement of APTS to a self-funding mode at the end of the grant period.

统计学博士培训学院是英国九个著名大学统计研究组之间的合作，该研究组为整个英国的统计学生提供了第一年培训的基本核心（包括统计学学生（包括统计方法的学生，应用统计和应用概率）。这种学术资源的汇总使我们在英国为最重要的数学，计算和统计技术以及统计研究重要领域的权威概述提供了系统的高质量基础。因此，剧院直接解决了2003年EPSRC/CMS国际数学评论的一些关键问题，该评论是英国博士培训的广度和质量，尤其是训练有素的研究斯塔特主义者的长期短缺。 DTZ由EPSRC赞助的评论的调查结果认可了它的成功。培训集中在四个密集的住宅周中，每周涉及两个APTS模块的教学。 EPSRC资金的延续将允许向APTS Weeks的EPSRC博士学位学生提供部分支持，为APTS模块的准备和更新做出贡献，并支付Central Adminministration的费用。这将有助于在赠款期结束时将APTS转移到自筹资金模式上。
