Advanced Methods Showcase 2025

The ESRC White Rose DTP is delighted to invite you to attend our Advanced Methods Showcase, hosted and chaired by our Advanced Methods training teams.

This is the third of the WRDTP events and conferences in 2024/25, and forms one part of the wide range of training events and courses offered to our postgraduate research community.

The aim of this training event is to provide social sciences doctoral researchers with an introduction to a range of advanced quantitative and qualitative methods and analytical techniques that are commonly used in social science. It will give participants the opportunity to identify methods and techniques relevant to their own research. Most of the techniques discussed here are then examined in depth at training workshops later in the academic year, so by attending this session you can determine which further sessions to attend.

This Advanced Quantitative and Qualitative Methods and Data Analytics training is compulsory for ESRC funded PhD research students who have just embarked on their first year of PhD study i.e.:

• Students who are starting their PhD study on a 3.5 or 3.75 scholarship in academic year 2024/2025.
• Students who completed their Masters in Social Sciences Research in September 2024 who are now transitioning to their PhD study on a 1+3 scholarship (first year of PhD).

If you attended the Advanced Methods Showcase whilst completing your MA Social Science Research degree during academic year 2023/2024, please note you do not have to attend this event again, but please inform the WRDTP office via that you will not be attending.

All non-ESRC funded students from the WRDTP partner institutions are also welcome to attend this training.

Doctoral Researchers need to register with an interdisciplinary themed training Pathway when they book a place at this event. To see which Pathway is appropriate for you, please see the following Pathway summaries here.

Please note that once you have clicked 'Register', there are further questions you need to complete to fully register for the event, and to help with the planning. These include your university, year of PhD, plus any dietary or additional requirements or support you will need.
