About the research master
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.
You will also be trained to consult with applied researchers on a wide range of methodological and statistical issues. A 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 marker research companies), EMOS (European Master of Official statistics, in cooperation with Statistics Netherlands and planning bureaus), Educational Measurement (in cooperation with Cito and RCEC). A Biomedical track will start in 2016-2017.
