The general public’s interest in politics has increased significantly in recent years. This has meant that not only the space, the protagonists and the instruments dedicated to politics have changed. Political analysis increasingly occupies more space in public debate and electoral surveys have become the fundamental element to measure ‘the pulse of the country’.
In today’s rapidly changing environment, the Master’s Degree in Political and Electoral Analysis seeks to offer key tools to help understand political phenomena. For this reason, this Master has two fundamental blocks.
On the one hand, the Master is about understanding why political actors behave as they do. What can we learn from past elections in Spain and in other European countries. How do political parties behave in other contexts? How are elections related to political protest and with the electoral systems.
On the other hand, students will be provided with an understanding of the operation and development of samplings. How does the interview technique affect sampling? How is the famous “kitchen” made? What can we know and not know thanks to surveys? And with discussion groups?
The Master in Political and Electoral Analysis seeks to provide analysts with sufficient knowledge to be able to correctly interpret public opinion surveys as well as the motivations and strategies of political and social actors.
