Summer course in LSE About the Methods Summer Programme The Methods Summer Programme was launched with great success in 2012. Its objective is to provide a range of quantitative and qualitative methods to enhance participants’ research capabilities. This make the programme ideally suited for students, particularly postgraduates, as well as academics and professionals. In its inaugural year, 66 students from 32 countries attended the programme. Around half of the participants on the programme were late-undergraduate or postgraduate students, with the other 50 per cent in research or professional positions. The heterogeneous nature of the participants brought an exciting mix of opinions to class discussions. In 2013 we have expanded the programme to include courses across a number of disciplines, including mathematics, statistics and econometrics. All courses provide training in research methods as used by the top researchers in the field, and are taught by world-class LSE academics. Welcome from Professor Kenneth Benoit Professor Kenneth BenoitWelcome to the LSE Methods Summer Programme, a summer school providing high calibre short courses in applied research methods. Launched in 2012, the Methods Summer Programme originally consisted of three courses taught by the Department of Methodology, but this year has expanded to include courses in mathematics, statistics and economics, with further expansion envisioned in future years. Taught by leading LSE faculty, the Methods Summer Programme aims to expand and enhance the research capabilities of our participants. Last year more than 60 students, academics and professionals took courses in Survey Methods, Linear Regression Analysis and Qualitative Research Methods. With our expanded offerings, we have extended the range and depth of the topics we cover as well as increased the target student audience. With a 2012 student cohort from over 30 countries, we fully expect our global reach only to grow in coming years. We look forward to welcoming you to the London School of Economics. Professor Kenneth Benoit Head, Department of Methodology
