Synopsis The growth of the use of computers in the analysis of social research data has reached the point where it is now difficult to imagine a relevant job specification that would not assume or require such an ability. This subject aims to develop skills in the practice of coding data for research analysis and to develop practical competence in the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). SPSS has been chosen because it is the most widely used and widely available of such packages in the world.
