Program details

Overview

This degree develops research expertise that crosses disciplinary boundaries, with a focus on the methods used to investigate contemporary social life. The curriculum follows learning outcomes defined by the ESRC, and it is taught by academics with a strong interdisciplinary outlook. Students gain an understanding of how different methodological traditions can be combined to answer complex questions. Core advanced methods form the backbone of the year, supplemented by specialised techniques selected to fit each student's interests. Teaching combines small-group sessions, workshops, seminars and hands-on practicals. Assessment is flexible and tailored to the learner's interests, and the programme finishes with an independent dissertation that prepares graduates for further study or research-intensive careers. Students are also encouraged to develop their own research questions early, so that the chosen methods fit a project they care about.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: We typically require a 2:1 Bachelor (Honours) degree (or international equivalent), in a relevant Social Sciences discipline. In lieu of a suitable degree discipline, significant and relevant work experience can be considered.
