*Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods for Social Science & Health –
January 2014, King’s College London*
The Department of Social Science, Health & Medicine at King’s College
London is delighted to announce that we are now accepting applications for
the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods for Social Science and
Health. The certificate is aimed at social science and health researchers,
professionals and practitioners who wish to develop their understanding and
practical application of quantitative and qualitative research methods.
This programme is suitable for students from health, policy and government
sectors, including those who conduct, manage and commission research.
Briefly, the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods for Social
Science and Health aims to:
1. Develop knowledge and a critical understanding of research design,
governance, quantitative and qualitative methods for research in health
services and the social sciences.
2. Prepare students to critically evaluate and apply this knowledge in a
research context.
Students take three modules that are taught on Thursdays from 16th January
to 27th March, which provide basic research design, quantitative and
qualitative training. Students then choose one further module (Researching
Vulnerable Populations or an advanced statistical course, Data Manipulation
and Management) that is taught over one full week in mid May (12th to 16th).
The PG Certificate is 60 credits at a Masters level so students wishing to
go on to complete the Department’s MSc Gerontology (which is an extra 60
taught credits plus the dissertation) will be able to do so. Alternatively,
each module can be taken as a standalone course.
