The work of ISSR is broad, multi-disciplinary, and informed by the latest developments in social science theory and methods.
The ISSR Social Research Methods Courses are designed for those who need to use, understand, and interpret social research data, but who may not have a background or training in qualitative or quantitative research methods and analysis.
Our courses are ideal for professionals in government, non-government organisations, university staff, and postgraduate students who want to learn more about social science methods and translate research into policy and practice.
Our courses provide participants with practical skills and content-relevant knowledge that they can immediately apply to their work.
