Politics with Quantitative Methods (MA Hons)

at University of Edinburgh

Explore the origins and present-day contexts of domestic and international conflicts about power and resources. Study the morality of political action, the limits of freedom and justice, and the processes of governance at various levels.

One quarter of your study time will be devoted to quantitative methods. You will learn how to research political issues by using data in a practical setting.

This programme will develop your skills in politics and statistics. Quantitative skills underpin effective evidence-based planning in government, in the private sector and in international non-governmental organisations.
