All new social sciences doctoral researchers from the Universities of Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Manchester Metropolitan, Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam and York are warmly invited to attend the next WRDTP Advanced Methods Showcase event.
This annual event aims to provide new researchers with an introduction to a range of advanced quantitative and qualitative methods and analytical techniques that are commonly used in social science research. It will give participants the opportunity to identify methods and techniques relevant to their own research, many of which will be covered in greater depth at subsequent WRDTP training events.
A schedule for the day can be viewed at the bottom of this page.


This is a compulsory event for new WRDTP-funded PhD students (i.e. those starting their doctoral research in the 2025-26 academic year), unless they previously attended this event in the 2024-25 academic year whilst completing their Master’s degree.

As well as new WRDTP-funded PhD students, this event is open to:

All new, non-DTP-funded social sciences PhD students at the seven WRDTP partner universities;
DTP-funded students studying for their MA in Social Science Research in the 2025-26 academic year (although we recommend waiting until your first year of PhD study to attend this event).




Please note: The WRDTP is committed to sustainability and to reducing the waste from excess catering at events. A key challenge here is non-attendance at events. From October 1st 2025, the WRDTP will be changing the way we manage the non-attendance of PGR students who have booked place/s at WRDTP Training events. Any PGR student who does not inform the WRDTP (via training@wrdtp.ac.uk) that they will not be able to attend a WRDTP event at least 3 working days before the event takes place will have the cost of their place deducted from their RTSG (if a WRDTP-funded student), or have this charged to their department (if not funded by the WRDTP). This will allow us to better plan for events and to avoid catering waste. Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” bg_color=”#125f9f” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1763137219710{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]
This event will take place in person only at the University of Sheffield.
Bookings will close at 09:00am on Monday 5th January.
When booking your place, we ask that you use your institutional (.ac.uk) email address and complete all fields of the booking form. Thank you for your understanding.
