Woodbrooke offers this MA by Research in Quaker Studies together with the University of Birmingham. It is aimed at people who already have some grounding in research methods, a subject they care about and the self-discipline to work independently within a clear structure.
Instead of taught modules, the student produces a single long dissertation that must add fresh insight to an established field or body of writing. This suits anyone wanting to explore a particular topic, answer a specific question or follow a personal interest.
The degree can be completed by distance learning, with supervision by email and video conferencing. Distance students make a compulsory visit to the university near the start, which brings research methods classes and a chance to share work with others. Woodbrooke considers original proposals in Quaker Studies and a few neighbouring fields, Amish Studies among them, and advises talking to a potential supervisor before applying.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Some training in research methods is expected, along with a topic the applicant is keen to investigate. Discuss the application with a potential supervisor first.
