Overview

You'll learn both quantitative and qualitative research methods, but you'll have the opportunity to specialise in one of these if you prefer. With this Social Research Methods programme at London School of Economics and Political Science you can choose to complement your methods training with one or two substantively focused courses from another department. You'll design and carry out an empirical social science research project for your dissertation, with the support of an academic supervisor.

Our interdisciplinary approach will give you confidence to apply your expertise in a broad range of settings. Our graduates go on to successful careers in sectors including academia, governmental and non-governmental organisations, and public and private sectors.
