About Q-Step

Q-Step is an innovative programme designed to promote increased quantitative social science training.

Q-Step was set up and funded by the UK government in 2013 with the aim to address the shortage of quantitative data skills taught across university humanities courses, particularly in the social sciences.

The Manchester Q-Step Centre is one of 15 centres across the country which has integrated real-world social data into the classroom, with the aim to develop quantitative skills to help prepare students for the world of data and provide a skill set that is highly valued by employers.

Dr Tatjana Kecojevic - Director of the Manchester Q-Step Centre

Dr Lisa Williams - Criminology

Dr Patrycja Strycharczuk - Linguistics

Dr Marta Cantijoch Cunill - Politics
