CASA0007 Quantitative Methods
Postgraduate course, UCL, Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, 2025
The Quantitative Methods (QM) module (CASA0007) is part of the CASA’s MSc degree.
This module is designed to demonstrate the integral part that quantitative methods play in research. Students will be introduced to a range of quantitative approaches from the fields of statistics, modelling and data analysis, to serve as tools in their other disciplines. Throughout the course, the focus will be firmly on building conceptual understanding, rather than detailed mathematical manipulation.
I have been teaching this module since 2020. In 2025, we revolutionised this module, which is now hosted on a Quarto website.
Lecturer: Dr Huanfa Chen (that is me), Prof Adam Denneet, Dr Bea Taylor
