Social Policy with Quantitative Methods at the University of Edinburgh will enable you to engage with confidence in many of the political debates of our time. We deal with a wide array of policy areas, for example:

health
welfare
labour markets
education
family and childhood
We discuss how policies affect our civic culture through studying political engagement and citizen participation.

One quarter of your study time will be devoted to quantitative methods. You will learn how to research policy by using data in a practical setting.
