Overview

Research

This Advanced Quantitative Methods in Social Sciences course at the University of Bath is for social scientists who wish to learn advanced quantitative methods and apply them appropriately to answer particular substantive questions from their discipline. It's also well-suited to statistically trained researchers whose interests are more methodological.

You'll be part of a group of social scientists interested in interdisciplinary research involving the application of quantitative methods from one discipline (for example economics) to problems in another (for example politics).

Projects may involve applying statistical methods used in other disciplines to social science problems, or developing novel statistical methods for analysing social-science data.

Programme Structure

You'll benefit from insights from a number of disciplines and research groups, including:

social and policy sciences
economics
psychology
health

Two references are required. At least one of these should be an academic reference from the most recent place of study.
