The course introduces students to the analysis of quantitative data in political science and the social sciences. Quantitative methods are particularly useful when analysing large numbers of observations and when describing the information associated with different variables of interest and the possible relationships between them. The course will cover various analytical methods such as univariate and bivariate statistics and linear regression analysis. Mastering quantitative methods is essential for any student who will be pursuing graduate studies and intends to analyse large databases as part of their thesis. This knowledge is also highly sought after on the job market in both the public and private sectors.
