Description

This module is an introduction to survey methods. The module aims to familiarise students with:

  • key principles of survey design and sampling
  • questionnaire design and evaluation
  • data collection modes
  • non-response and dealing with missing data
  • ethnical issues in survey research
  • using data for secondary analysis.


Each session will be mirrored by a practical workshop seminar where students will put the learning introduced in the lectures to use through real-world practical examples. By the end of the module, students should be able to critically evaluate the quality of survey data which they might use to conduct secondary analysis of and to understand the key design issues in implementing a survey of their own.
