Course summary

About the Course The Master by Research (MRes) in Education, is part of Cardiff Met’s University-wide MRes programme and is unique within the UK Higher Education Institution (HEI) sector. The MRes has been designed to incorporate a taught phase (80 credits) and research phase (100 credits) that will support candidates from the initial stages of conceptualising and developing research ideas, and critically analysing empirical literature, through to planning and completing a substantial, independent research project in a specialist subject. The modular approach, with set assessments, provides candidates with clear progression milestones throughout the programme of study, while the 100-credit dissertation ensures a majority of the studied credit is awarded to independent research. These features ensure the MRes provides a more research-intensive focus than typical taught master’s programmes (e.g., MSc, MA), while removing the uncertainty often experienced when studying for a less structured Level 7 award, such as the MPhil. Candidates on the MRes can choose to study up to two subject-specific 20 credit modules from the existing suite of Cardiff Met taught master’s level programmes. Those who study at least one subject-specific module and conduct their final research project within the specialism are eligible to graduate with a named exit award. The exit awards available for this pathway are as follows: MRes in Education (Creative Writing) MRes in Education (English Literature) Please note that the exit awards available to candidates are subject to change and are dependent on the subject-specific modules available at the time of enrolment. Candidates will be guided by the relevant MRes Co-ordinator on the exit awards available to them prior to enrolment. Duration: 18-24 months full time. 36-48 months part time.
