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.
