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.
