General description

The digitalization and measurement of society are generating a wealth of data on social interactions and human behavior. Both inside and outside the academic community there is a growing need for specialists with a broad and well-founded repertoire of social science methodological skills to analytically accompany the process of digitizing society and provide a basis for decisionmaking on social development. The minor in Methods – Data – Society expands students’ knowledge and skills in the quantitative and qualitative methodologies of the social sciences. They learn to use different methodological tools, including statistics, to prepare and analyze different data from public administrations, (social) media, surveys, and experiments, and communicate the findings appropriately for the relevant audience.
