This scheme, with funding from the North West Doctoral Training Centre, draws upon the acknowledged strengths of social science and social statistics; with the balance between the statistics and substantive components of the research tailored to your interests and background.

Depending upon prior statistical learning, there is an option of studying for an MSc before progressing to the PhD.
