These learning materials have been designed to promote the data services available through The UK Data service and reference many international macro-economic and survey datasets. Some of the data hosted by the UK Data Service are only available to users from UK higher or further education institutions due to the data re-distribution license agreements with our data providers (i.e. IMF and OECD).

In order to access some of the datasets referred to in these materials you will require a current UK HE/FE Institutional username and password.

You will also need to register with The UK Data Service. This is a simple process more information about registration can be found at the:
UK Data Service registration pages

You will need to make use of the MLwiN software, which was developed by the Centre for Multilevel Modelling at the University of Bristol. The software can also be obtained via: www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk
