Advanced Quantitative Methods (AQM) in Social Sciences The University of Exeter

Overview

This Advanced Quantitative Methods (AQM) in Social Sciences programme from The University of Exeter offers a challenging but friendly and supportive environment in which to pursue your own research interests.

One of the advantages of an excellent all round department is that we can offer supervision across a wide range of subject areas at both our Streatham Campus in Exeter and in Cornwall, depending on the research interests of staff.

Our research led teaching is organised in clusters of faculty with specialisms in:

• Comparative Political Behaviour & Institutions
• Public Policy
• International Studies
• Political Theory

All academic staff in the department are active within at least one of these groups.  Postgraduate students, whether working on their own or within larger projects led by staff members, are also integral members of clusters. Public Policy and Political Theory have journals associated with them and operate their own research seminars. 

In addition to the clusters, there are also a number of University and School research centres which are more focussed and integrated, in many cases with external funding.
