The ECPR Methods School offers a broad variety of courses that cater for the needs of researchers in political science and neighbouring disciplines. The Summer School offers five types of courses, each designed to complement the others thus providing a full and comprehensive package of tuition (a further 'Preparatory' short course is available at the Winter School only).
Now a key fixture in the calendar for students and young scholars, the Summer School forms part of the ECPR's Methods School, which delivers cutting-edge courses in the full span of qualitative and quantitative topics, spread across the two schools. Delivered by a diverse range of experienced Instructors and supported by dedicated Teaching Assistants, the academic side of the School is designed to provide young scholars with the methodological skill set they need at the start of the career, while an exciting plenary programme provides an opportunity for all important networking.
The course content of the Summer School is designed to complement that of its sister event, the ECPR Winter School in Methods and Techniques, which currently takes place in Bamberg, Germany, every February.
The Summer School programme starts with Short 3-day Intensive Refresher courses held on the 23, 24 and 25 July, followed by a choice of four different types of Main courses, each lasting five or 10 days which run from the 27 July to 7 August.
You can choose from the following course / combinations:
