Course Summary

This course gets to the heart of social science and why it matters: how high-quality research is done, how it's communicated and the difference it can make to our lives. As one of only 15 UK Q-Step centres, we deliver intensive training in quantitative methods. From gathering and interpreting data, to understanding trends and how social statistics are created and used, you'll learn data literacy and analysis skills in an accessible, engaging, rigorous way. You'll become well-versed in the intellectual concerns of contemporary social science, taking the pathway Criminology. You'll learn how to use statistical software packages through hands-on practical sessions in our state-of-the-art computer lab. You'll become a highly proficient researcher, adept at communicating your findings to both a specialist and non-specialist audience. There are plenty of chances to get valuable work experience, including on our placement scheme. You might work on a project for an industry partner, go on placement with a company or do consultation or research work for a government office or research centre.
