  • Great experience, it helps you understand other cultures really well, it's expensive from accomodation to food, and nightlife. England no doubt is a expensive place.

Programme overview
This pathway is for social scientists who wish to learn advanced quantitative methods for secondary-data analysis, and apply these methods appropriately to answer particular substantive questions from their disciplines. This includes social scientists who are interested in inter-disciplinary research that requires the application of quantitative methods from one discipline to problems in another.
This pathway is also for statistically trained researchers whose interests are more methodological. Projects may involve applying statistical methods used in other disciplines to social science problems, or developing novel statistical methods for analysing social science data. We welcome applications from students with backgrounds in statistics or related disciplines.
Students will normally be registered in the school of their first supervisor. This may not be the school that processes your application.

Course programme


Research groups

The ESRC has designated advanced quantitative methods as a priority area, and the purpose of this pathway is to provide training and supervision that emphasises quantitative methods to a higher level than is usually offered. Training includes a structured programme of core advanced quantitative methods courses and a fortnightly research and reading group.

Details of the core training currently offered can be found on the advanced quantitative methods courses website.

You will need two supervisors: one supervisor with advanced quantitative methods expertise and one supervisor with expertise in your chosen substantive area. Your main supervisor must be from a social science discipline. For a list of potential supervisors, please consult our academic staff pages on the relevant school websites.


Careers

Our students go on to employment in a wide variety of areas - often where statistical analysis is required, but also where numeracy is crucial. Students also continue within academic careers, going on to post-doctoral and lecturing positions.

At its core, the programme establishes a sound research training base, together with a set of bespoke training courses that provide students with the advanced quantitative toolkit required for their PhD research. It also positions our students for different types of employment, including research, policy and intervention implementation.
