MSc. in Population Studies (Demography)

From September 2024, students are able to study demography at SDU – an education programme that until now has only been available outside Denmark’s borders. It zooms in on courses such as programming, quantitative methods, forecasting, data management and interpretation of population statistics. 

The candidates will be able to study, quantify and predict population structures and demographic changes – and, equally importantly, to communicate the consequences of the changes to politicians and decision-makers.

Introduction to R summer school

The hands-on summer school course is built around one of the most popular programming languages in data science, statistics, and the quantitative sciences. R is a free, powerful, and versatile programming language, and this course takes students from installation and the basics of RStudio all the way through data types, objects, and foundational statistics, taught through a mix of lectures and exercises. Everything is designed to build confidence step by step.

By the end of the course, students will be able to work with R's core programming features, analyze data and create visualizations. In short, students will have the tools to turn raw data into meaningful insights. More about the course.
