Aimed at postgraduate researchers and early career researchers, Bournemouth University’s Digital Methods Summer School will be running from 1 to 5 July 2024.
Now in its second year, the week-long event will cover several digital methods from data to collection to analysis and visualisation:
- Website scraping and APIs
- Content analysis
- Sentiment analysis and Computer-aided content analysis
- Social network analysis
- Using AI in research
- Data visualisation and storytelling
- Predictive modelling
All participants will work on a common research problem throughout the week, and the goal, alongside learning skills, is to collect and analyse data for a joint publication.
The course will be led by BU’s Professor Scott Wright, with support from Professor Darren Lilleker, Professor Dan Jackson, Professor Anna Feigenbaum, Professor Rick Stafford and Professor Xiaosong Yang. We will also have sessions on working with industry and some guest lectures.

Further details
There is no charge for this event. Software will be provided. Catering will be provided throughout the week. We will cover expenses of up to £200 for non-BU PhD students (capped to 20). Places are strictly limited due to the laboratory size. We will select attendees based on application answers, as well as an overall consideration to ensure a balance amongst participants (e.g. internal/external, gender, stage of study).
