Overview
The Social Statistics PhD programme at The University of Manchester is based in either the Social Statistics discipline area or in the Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research (CMIST): an inter-disciplinary research centre with a thriving research programme in Social Research Methods and Statistics.
Career opportunities
Typical first destinations at the end of the programme include lectureships, research posts, senior administrative positions in local government, NHS and educational institutions, homeworking and trade union and union linked positions.
