Social Work MPhil – (M.Phil.)

The University of Manchester's School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work was placed top of the table for nursing and midwifery research in the 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise, making this the ideal place to study for a Postgraduate research award.

The postgraduate research programme provides students with transferable skills in research and serves as the foundation for a career as an investigator and scholar. It also gives students the opportunity to work with internationally renowned scholars engaged in innovative research that will make a difference in people's lives and in health and social care. If students want the best research training, the natural choice would be to come to a school and university renowned for their research.
Research is an integral component of social work at the University. Research activity underpins the scope and quality of teaching and is central to the contribution that we make to the development of practice and practice learning.
Social Work staff are active in a range of research areas, see Social work
