Our Methods School delivers a broad variety of courses that cater for the needs of researchers in political science and neighbouring disciplines. The Summer School offers complementary course types and categories, which add up to a full and comprehensive tuition package.
It starts with Short courses (two days, beginning Friday 26 July), followed by Main courses and Advanced workshops (lasting five or ten days, Monday 29 July – Friday 2 August and Monday 5 – Friday 9 August).
You can take any course on its own or combine it with other courses to create a package. Scheduling conflicts mean that some course types don't allow courses to be combined. In the Course list, click the Course type (second column from left) to see when the course is scheduled. Check the course types below to find out whether the course types you're interested in can be combined into a package.
