About Us

The main goal of the Institute for Statistics and Quantitative Methods at SFU Vienna, it is to impart statistical analysis methods and their implementation in an application-oriented and practical manner, in order to open up a space for critical questioning and practice-oriented discussion for students, in addition to the acquisition of central knowledge.
Our role in the university’s curriculum is therefore focused on conveying methodical knowledge, which can not only be applied to the context of an academic career, but may also be a necessary tool within the psychological practice.
Our courses offered in the Bachelor and Master programme at Sigmund Freud University Vienna include lectures as well as seminars for statistics and quantitative research methods, while guaranteeing a profound methodological education as part of the psychology studies.
