Methodology and Statistics

All our Master's programs maintain a strong emphasis on research methods and statistics. For that reason, it is of great importance that candidates starting a Master's program at the Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences have a solid background in these topics. International candidates who meet all the requirements in order to be accepted to the Master's program but lack a sufficient background in methodology and statistics will be invited by Tilburg University to attend the Summer School course in Methodology and Statistics. The course is offered free of charge to our MSc applicants. Upon completion of the course, one will be admitted to the Master's program. The Summer School course takes place in July and August preceding the start of the academic year.
