There are still places available on the MSc in Social Research Methods and Statistics in the discipline of Social Statistics at the Centre for Census and Survey Research at the University of Manchester beginning in September 2010.
The MSc programme provides a firm grounding in advanced quantitative methods, taught within an applied social science framework. It includes training in: research design, qualitative research methods, how to conduct a survey, data analysis, SPSS and STATA, statistical modelling, longitudinal data analysis and social network analysis. Modules are taught with an emphasis on hands-on training in the application of methods and software. Students are also able to take a wide range of other professional skills training during their time at the University of Manchester.
Graduates from the MSc have gone on to pursue careers in research, policy making and university teaching in the UK and around the world including in government departments, national charities and international consultancy. See www.ccsr.ac.uk/masters/grad_dest.htm
The programme is designed to be accessible to non-statisticians. Graduates who completed the course successfully leave with highly marketable skills for a career in research. The MSc is also currently recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The programme is available full-time over one year or part-time over two years.
