My knowledge of many statistical packages allowed me to use advance statistics in my

research analyses. While SPSS is widely used in my papers, more advance statistic

programs were used. For example, I used HLM, AMOS and EQs in many research

papers. Other programs (e.g., LISERAL) were used in many conference papers and

research articles.

Note that in our department, there is a low number of accepted students for the master

program each year (max. 10 students). Also, as part of a decision made by our

department, all new comers were not given supervision in the first two years of

graduation (in my case 2006 & 2007). This limited the opportunity for master

supervision.
