Overview
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.
