The MRes provides the generic social science and politics specific research training necessary to go on to doctoral research or to pursue a career as a professional researcher. The MRes can be pursued on its own, or as the first year of the Four-Year PhD programme, in which case the dissertation is used as a springboard to PhD level research.
On completion of the programme you will be able to demonstrate a detailed and comprehensive understanding of current issues in political science and understand the origins, history and development of political science and its philosophical underpinnings.
Our Masters of Research (MRes) programme has ‘1+3’ recognition from the Economic and Social Research Council which means it can be taken as the first step of a four-year PhD programme.
Example modules
* Elements of Research Design in Politics
* Qualitative Research Methods in the Social Sciences
* Applied Quantitative Data Analysis
We usually offer at least 30 modules from which to choose in a single year. We will offer two core modules for each MA programme and many option modules from which you can select. The availability of the option modules may vary slightly from year-to-year. Please see our webpage for the full list of MA modules and further details on core modules for each programme.
