Course summary

The MRes programme is tailored to provide the critical capacity and methodological training for advanced research in social sciences. It is designed to develop advanced skills in research methods as well as a critical understanding of contemporary debates in social research methodology. The MRes equips participants with social research skills that can be used in public, private or third sectors, and provides ideal preparation for doctoral study. Through this course, students will learn how to plan and conduct social research using a variety of methods and research designs, and gain hands-on experience in qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method methodological approaches. Students will learn and practice the skills necessary to interpret and critique existing research and to develop, conduct and disseminate their own social research projects.The MRes programme provides a holistic educational experience to foster student reflection on ontological and epistemological paradigms behind the choice of any methodology and theoretical framework. The MRes programme invites students to learn through reflection, metacognition, and practical engagement in the distinctive practices of social research. At the same time, the activities and programme assessments allow the students to connect abstract methodological and theoretical debates with real-world research.
