Minor Methodology and Statistics for Research Master Students
The minor Methodology and Statistics trains promising students to become researchers in Methodology and Statistics within the social and behavioral sciences. The minor is embedded within the Research Master in Social and Behavioral Sciences. During the two-year, English-taught program, students will follow state-of-the-art courses and be involved hands-on in our research through internal traineeships, an international traineeship, a first-year paper, and the Master's thesis.
After completing the two year Research Master program, students will be an all-round researcher who can apply for a PhD position (in methodology and statistics but also in other fields of social and behavioral sciences), or work in research institutions and companies such as Statistics Netherlands (CBS), CITO, and The Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP).
