ABOUT US
We have been running short courses for social researchers since 1981. We are located within the highly reputed Sociology Department at the University of Surrey, UK, which has an international reputation as a centre of excellence in both research and teaching.
We administer events run by the CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS) Networking Project . These can be accessed through the Events calendar to the left, but visit the CAQDAS website for support materials and further resources concerning the use of software in qualitative and mixed methods research.
The Sociology department also houses the Centre for Research on Social Simulation (CRESS), is associated with the ESRC's Resource Centre for Applied Social Surveys (CASS), and publishes Social Research Update, a quarterly for social researchers. In the 2008 RAE the department was ranked joint 6th out of all the Sociology departments in the UK. As a result, our courses and workshops are run by experts in the field.
