Profile
The two-year Research Master Methodology and Statistics for the Behavioural, Biomedical and Social Sciences, starts in September. It is taught in English and leads to the title of Master of Science (MSc). The programme is organized by three different departments:Research methodology, Measurement and Data Analysis (University of Twente)Methods and Statistics (University of Utrecht)Biometrics (University Medical Centre Utrecht).The programme is closely connected to the departments’ research expertise and the collaboration between these departments provides you with an exceptionally broad range of internship opportunities and thesis topics focused on the following fields: Behavioural Sciences, Biomedical Sciences and Social Sciences. More and more data are collected since many processes are being monitored or repeatedly measured. Data are of essential importance to address complex social research questions and decision problems. Therefore, competent professionals in research methodology and statistics are required who can provide creative solutions given (collected) data. How do we measure accurately student achievements, and evaluate changes in performance?How do we perform large-scale survey data analysis and measure cross-national differences?How do we obtain valid answers in a survey about sensitive topics like income or tax fraud?How do we accumulate knowledge through Bayesian updating techniques?You will also be trained to consult with applied researchers on a wide range of methodological and statistical issues. Further specialization is possible in the behavioural, biomedical, or social sciences, which you can explore through electives. Different tracks are offered to professionalize you further: Survey (in cooperation with Statistics Netherlands, CentERData, and market research companies), EMOS (European Master of Official statistics, in cooperation with Statistics Netherlands and planning bureaus), Educational Measurement (in cooperation with Cito and RCEC).
