Initiated in 1997, the M.Sc. in Applied Social Research has established an excellent reputation in training students in applied research skills. Graduates of the course are employed in a variety of organisations, including government departments, semi-state agencies, private corporations and companies, and in research institutes and consultancies.
Contents
Students attend lectures and complete assignments over the first two semesters (September-April). They then go on a work placement for a two-month period from approximately mid-April to mid-June. Crucially, this placement gives students an opportunity to gain further practical research experience within organisations and institutions where they work alongside experienced researchers/research teams.
There may be some opportunities for students to undertake their work placement in one of the School's research centres.
Having finished the work placement, each student then completes a research dissertation under academic supervision over the summer months, finishing the course at the end of August.
