Course summary

Whether it’s economic or cultural inequalities, the risks of our online lives, the definitions and consequences of crime, or the social aspects of issues like health, this course gives you an exciting opportunity to explore what it means to be social, where society might be heading and how we can shape a better future together. Our teaching draws on the expertise of the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology. With approachable staff and a supportive academic environment, you’ll be part of a collaborative exchange of ideas, learning directly from experts while contributing your own perspectives. You’ll be introduced to the politics and practice of social research and undertake an extensive research project on a topic of your choice, supported by regular supervision from a sociological expert. Along the way, you’ll develop transferable skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving and project management, tools that are valuable in any career. This MRes provides excellent research training and hands-on experience, whether you’re preparing for a professional career, PhD study, or seeking continuous professional development.
