The MRes Programme is a Facultywide, cross-disciplinary research training course with an Education strand which provides high quality training to potential doctoral students as well as a stand-alone qualification to train social science researchers. The Programme has four broad aims to enable students to review systematically, and to evaluate critically:
* alternative approaches, methodologies and paradigms of research in social and educational enquiry
* the application of these approaches in the specific areas of social and educational enquiry in which students are specialising.
And to:
* support students, within an active research community, in identifying and investigating their own original research questions
* equip students with the skills to contribute to research projects using any of the main methodologies of the social sciences.
Career options
Students undertaking this programme are well placed to apply for research posts within the education, government and voluntary sector. They are also well prepared for further PhD study.
