In the MSc programs, we train you to become independent researchers and scholars. Knowledge of statistics is a crucial requirement both for your MSc thesis and for publishing research in peer-reviewed journals, but a deep understanding of what statistics mean and how to interpret them is key to avoiding erroneous findings.

Additionally, the ability to use statistical software confidently is an extremely important skill. Advanced techniques such as multilevel linear modeling are becoming more and more popular in psychology. Familiarity with these techniques will be very important in performing and evaluating research in the future. In this assignment, we test your ability to perform complex multivariate and multilevel analyses using SPSS and report the results appropriately.
