This will provide a strong basis for postgraduate studies and further strengthen applied research skills. The unit will begin with an introduction to the topic before progressing to the major qualitative methods. The first half year will focus on a review of basic quantitative and qualitative methods. The second half year will focus on quantitative methods and aims to extend and challenge some of the common statistical methods taught in earlier units.
