Effective Research Data Management - Ed Summer Sch (586X8)

Level 7 (Masters)

Summer teaching

In this module, you’ll learn how to manage research data across each stage of the data lifecycle. You’ll work through the full process, including:

• pre‑project planning
• data creation
• data management
• publication
• long‑term preservation
• issues of sharing and re‑use.

You’ll examine both qualitative and quantitative forms of social science data and consider the challenges that arise when working with different types. You’ll also explore how researchers plan, organise and maintain data – in ways that support responsible practice, long‑term preservation and effective re‑use across a range of research contexts.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
