Big Data and Digital Futures - PGCert

Core Modules:

• Fundamentals in Quantitative Research Methods
• Advanced Quantitative Research
• Big Data Research: Hype or Revolution?

You'll take three core modules. Lab work, report writing and data skills training will form an integral part of your learning experience. You'll be invited to attend optional short certified ‘Masterclasses’ to further extend your methodological repertoire. An annual Spring Camp on a key theme (e.g.forecastng; visualisation) is also provided, allowing you to gain expertise in a wide range of cutting-edge quantitative methods.

You don’t need a computer science, mathematics or statistics background to apply. The focus is on skilling-up on key techniques intrinsic to applied quantitative social science. A willingness to engage with world social science issues is essential.
