* How do we learn the "craft" of social research?
* In what ways might social and cultural research be evaluated?
Recent years have been characterised by a significant expansion of opportunities to undertake social and cultural research. Such an expansion has contributed to the call for improved research education and training. The aim of the degree is to provide a strong theoretical and practical introduction to the world of sociological, social and cultural research. You will be exposed to the range of general academic research skills and expertise expected of the professional researcher in the social sciences.
The degree is a valuable preparation and qualification for a career in social research. It is also an excellent primer for those candidates planning to undertake a PhD in Sociology, Cultural Studies and cognate disciplines.
Typical modules (subject to change) may include:
• Qualitative Methods in Social and Cultural Research
• Quantitative Data Analysis
