Course Overview

The Master of Research (MRes) is a flexible program based on three taught research methods modules, an independent project relating to your specialist subject area, and a Master's thesis (supported through academic tutorials). The supervisory team is all research activities within their subject specialisms.

The program promotes collaborative engagement between students and research-active academic staff. This engagement has already resulted in several research publications. In addition, it provides an opportunity for individuals from professional and educational backgrounds to gain a critical appreciation of developments in their specialist subject area and to enhance the analytical and research skills necessary to engage in advanced research projects.

The MRes forms an essential part of the Higher Degree portfolio of the University. The MRes program provides a good grounding in the research process and can be used as a stepping stone into Doctoral research.

It provides an opportunity for individuals from professional and academic backgrounds to appreciate developments in their specialist subject area and to enhance the analytical and research skills necessary to engage in advanced research projects. In addition, the program's flexibility makes it suitable for both experienced practitioners undertaking senior roles and less experienced students looking to lay the foundations for a new career pathway following an undergraduate degree.
