Institute for International Studies and Public Policy

[MSc-IA Certificate Course]

Quantitative Research Methods in International Relations equips students with the tools to turn research questions into evidence-based findings. From research design, sampling, measurement, and data collection to hypothesis testing, statistical analysis, and regression, students learn the essentials of quantitative research from the ground up.

Through hands-on practice using Stata, students develop practical skills to analyze data and produce a comprehensive quantitative research proposal. More than numbers, the course encourages critical thinking, academic writing, teamwork, and the confidence to question assumptions, test arguments, and let evidence speak.

[MSc-IA Certificate Course]

This course trains policy analysts to replace gut-feeling with numerical evidence. We will work through projects in governance, public health, economics, and social policy, to develop fluency in the full data analytics pipeline — crafting questions, data processing, exploratory analysis, modeling, interpretation, and communication. All tools, concepts, and theories are introduced as solutions to concrete problems we encounter while solving problems.

We aim to help students recognize when a problem is amenable to statistics, develop computational problem-solving skill, be critical of such results, and communicate evidence in pictures.
