This is a core introductory course to Network Analysis for Social Sciences by Mitchell Centre for Social Network Analysis – a leading cross-disciplinary research group in the development and application of social network analysis techniques, located in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester.

The course covers the main network-analytical concepts, methods, and data collection/processing techniques for social sciences. The course is hands-on, offering participants to experience analysis of real social network data to discuss their own projects in network analysis with relevant experts from the Mitchell Centre.

The course is largely based around the use of UCINET point-and-click software and is broadly accessible. No prior knowledge of network analysis or quantitative methods is assumed for this course.
