Training
We offer training in research methods and quantitative data analysis for both staff and students at The University of Manchester.
We offer introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses covering all aspects of the research process, including research design, data collection, and data analysis.
Additionally, we provide in-house courses and workshops tailored for local authorities and other organisations.
Key facts
All courses are developed and delivered by staff who are experts in their fields.
Course leaders and teaching assistants are on hand to ensure a friendly and supportive learning environment.
Most courses are one day in duration, although a number run over two or three days.
Courses are designed to be free-standing, though many build together to provide learning pathways from basic to more advanced levels.
Our courses include a combination of lectures and/or demonstrations, supported by a substantial practical component, to ensure participants gain hands-on experience in the application of the methods being taught.
