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.

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.
