Summary
UCD School of Politics & International Relations is the oldest and largest school of its kind in Ireland with over 150 years of experience in political studies and a world-renowned faculty drawn from many countries.
The Professional Certificate in Quantitative Text Analysis equips students with both the theoretical oversight and the empirical tools necessary to understand and engage with (political) text at scale. The programme introduces students in a hands-on fashion to a variety of methods and tools in the booming fields of quantitative text analysis and natural language processing.
Graduates from this programme will be ideally positioned to apply their newly acquired text mining skills for careers in government, think tanks, political campaigns, interest groups, and the civil service. Furthermore, the combination of a solid understanding of social science theory with the technical ability to examine text at scale, brings a unique addition to any data science team, in the corporate sector, the nonprofit sector, or within IT companies.
