Program Description

This course gets to the heart of social science and why it matters, with a particular emphasis on management. Students will learn how high-quality research is done, how it's communicated, and the difference it can make in people's lives. 

As one of only 15 UK Q-Step centres, The University of Sheffield delivers intensive training in quantitative methods. From gathering and interpreting data, to understanding trends and how social statistics are created and used, students will learn data literacy and analysis skills in an accessible, engaging, and rigorous way. 

The program offers plenty of chances to get valuable work experience, including on the university's placement scheme. Students might work for a project for a government office, go on placement with a company, or do consultation or research work for an industry partner or a research centre.
