Location of The University of Edinburgh

The MSc by Research is a flexible one-year full-time degree which combines research training in interdisciplinary humanities and social-science topics with the opportunity to start work on an individual project. In many cases this project will form the basis of a subsequent PhD. The degree enables people with an interest in cultural studies topics to receive a research training which is tailored to their specific interest.

A normal programme involves successful completion of the required core course, Advanced Issues in Interdisciplinary Socio-Cultural Research combined with the Sociology Postgraduate Writing Workshop, and a selection of optional graduate courses available across the College of Humanities and Social Science. Two options are taken in semester one and two in semester two.


Contents

The programme combines work on an individual research-based dissertation with research training in interdisciplinary arts, humanities and social sciences.
