Q-Step support and fundingQ-Step was a £19.5 million programme designed to promote a step-change in quantitative social science training. Q-Step was developed as a strategic response to the shortage of quantitatively skilled social science graduates. It was originally funded by the Nuffield Foundation, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The Q-Step Centre is now an established part of the University of Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh is one of only 15 universities in the UK chosen by Q-Step to develop new forms of quantitative skills training. We are leading the way with a comprehensive range of degree programmes, courses and sessions.There is also plenty of support available if you are less confident with maths.
