I chose to study quantitative methods alongside my politics course as I was looking to gain a better understanding of how to use data to support my research. The world is becoming increasingly data driven and having the skills to interpret data is very valuable. 

The course was delivered in structured and useful manner. I started off with no proper past experience working with data and through the three years was provided with all the resources needed to build my knowledge. For myself, one of the most useful aspects of the course was being taught how to fully assemble a well thought out research paper. Going forward, I can now support my research with statistical models and present everything in concise and logical manner. The quants course at Glasgow is great because of its small class size and how much time you can actually get with your lecturers. Feedback is constantly provided throughout the classes, allowing you to learn from your mistakes and gain valuable insights from those working in the field.
