Can I apply?
To be eligible, you need to be a first-year student on one of the following undergraduate courses:

- Social Policy
- Sociology.
How it works
The first step towards converting your degree is to apply for our 2021 Summer School. This two-week programme takes place after your first year of study (Stage 1) and introduces you to quantitative research. This allows you to assess whether you’d like to continue these studies as part of your degree programme and provides the knowledge you’ll need for the next stage.
If you decide to convert your degree, you take two modules at Stage 2. At Stage 3, you choose to write a dissertation or attend a work placement.
Gingerbread is a charity that supports single parents. My placement role is to survey and analyse Gingerbread services and how they are reaching single parents.
After graduation
Your degree title will now include the term 'with Quantitative Research'. This will greatly improve your employability by demonstrating your level of quantitative skills.
