Abstract: 

Taught modules on sample survey methods provide a useful means of integrating and extending a range of statistical ideas. Knowledge and expertise gained in basic Statistics modules at Levels 1 and 2 can be brought together and applied in sample surveys, and provide the platform for the development and application of more advanced concepts. This paper mainly concerns Level 3 modules in the programme of Statistics learning in the undergraduate degree(s) at The Nottingham Business School, but the principle has been applied elsewhere.
