In a world increasingly reliant on data (big and small), a Graduate Certificate of Social Research from the ANU will provide you with an introduction to the skills required to understand a changing Australian and global society, as well as the political, demographic and economic forces that shape and drive these changes.

 

The program is a pathway into the Master of Social Research from the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods, which will equip you with the practical skills to conduct, commission and evaluate research in the social sciences, and give you the opportunity to extend your skills in advanced research methods, and/or apply your skills to real-world policy and societal issues.
