Social Sciences Research Methods Programme | SSRMP

Welcome to 2020-21

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, SSRMP teaching will look different from previous years... All modules scheduled for the Michaelmas Term will be conducted online. Bookings will open on Thursday 8th October 2020. We are hoping to be able to offer a blended approach of online and face-to-face classes for our Lent Term teaching, but this is subject to government advice and university guidance. Booking for modules will take place as normal and enrolment will begin at 6pm on Thursday 8th October 2020.

Skill Check

What is the Skill Check and why do I have to take it? The SSRMP Skill Check is an online multiple-choice test, which assesses competence levels in basic statistics. The results are used for one purpose only: to make sure our students take the Basic Statistics Stream (BSS) modules suited to their skill level.

Wellbeing and Support

We would like to remind you of the support and care around wellbeing that you can find within the University during this difficult time when we are all required to distance ourselves socially. Your supervisor and Department are your primary source for duty of care but there are many other services and websites that can be of help too. In particular, the University's Student Wellbeing website is extremely helpful.
