About ACSPRI's Courses

If you are interested in booking a course soon, scheduled courses can be found on our Upcoming Events page.


ACSPRI programs are designed to cater for fundamental, changing and emerging research strategies, and to serve a wide variety of needs for training and professional development within the academic, public and private sectors. Our courses cater not only for researchers in the social and political sciences, but also in areas such as behavioural, health and medical sciences, policy research, education, economics, epidemiology, law, management, marketing, public relations and human resource management.

Each program is run during the host university's vacation period and/or the AVCC Common Week.

Courses at each of our programs range from those that offer a basic grounding in qualitative and quantitative research methods to state of the art techniques for experienced researchers.

Program courses run across 5 days (Summer and Winter). We also offer 2 and 3 day workshops and Master-classes online. You'll find them in the courses tab above and the upcoming events box on the right hand side of our website.

ACSPRI Programs have earned a high reputation for presenting a practical and applied approach to research methods and data analysis, promoting hands-on learning opportunities, and using highly skilled and experienced instructors from around Australia and overseas.

​

The ACSPRI calendar includes regular offerings online and in Melbourne and Brisbane.

Visit our Event Calendar page for upcoming programs, courses and other relevant events.

 

Course attendance is discounted for employees and students at ACSPRI member organisations. A limited number of scholarships are also available.
