Overview
The MSc Quantitative Political Science provides advanced training in how to formulate and test theories about politics using data. The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented increase in data availability and opportunities for collecting and analysing political data. Leveraging these observations to understand politics requires the development and application of suitable methods in order to answer research questions about politics and international relations.
This course introduces quantitative methods suitable for this purpose and offers a selection of substantive modules and a dissertation module in which this methodological knowledge can be subsequently applied.
Graduates from this course can expect to find jobs in market research, the media and central or local government. It also provides a foundation for further research in political science. Students will gain key employability skills such as analytical reasoning, research design, and report writing.
