Welcome on board
How do I get access if I am off-campus?
Please contact your university library team, as each university has a different method of providing off-campus access to Statista. Statista has no influence over the method used for off-campus access.
What kind of data can I view with my license?
This can vary depending on whether your university has limited or full access to our platform, for example, you may only have access to the German-language data, but not to the English-language data. You can obtain more detailed information from your university library team.
My university is not included in the list. Can I still get free access?
The list on our website only includes universities that use Shibboleth in order to be able to offer free access to our platform outside the campus. To find out whether your university has a Campus License with Statista and how everything else works, please contact your university library.
How can I see if my university has a Campus License?
