Methods Courses at University of Helsinki
Our aim is to support researchers in social sciences and humanities in strengthening their methodological competence and in adopting novel methods. For this aim, we have compiled a list of methods courses organised by the degree programmes at the University of Helsinki.

Below you can find lists of: 

If you are a teacher on any of the courses listed and wish to have the course information removed – or if you teach a course that you would like to have added to the list, please contact the HSSH Methodological unit at grp-hssh-mu@helsinki.fi

Methods courses in 2nd teaching period 2022-2023 (31.10.–18.12.)

Please check with the teacher whether the course is open for researchers. Contact details of the responsible teachers can be found on the SISU page of each course.
