Overview
The programme
You will gain insights into the design and analysis of social science studies, including large and complex datasets, study the latest developments in statistics, and learn how to apply advanced methods to investigate social science questions.
The Statistics (Social Statistics) (Research) programme at London School of Economics and Political Science includes two core courses which provide training in fundamental aspects of probability and statistical theory and methods, the theory and application of generalised linear models, and programming and data analysis using the R package. These courses together provide the foundations for the optional courses on more advanced statistical modelling, computational research and statistical computing. Options also include specialist courses from the Departments of Methodology, Geography and Social Policy. You will also complete a dissertation on an approved topic of your choice.
You may also be interested in the nine-month taught stream of this programme, MSc Statistics (Social Statistics), which does not include the dissertation portion of the programme.
