Course summary

For students looking to undertake doctoral-level research in any Social or Political Science subject, this Masters by Research degree will give you the necessary skills through a structured programme of research training. The MSc by Research (MScR) is different from our other programmes in that, typically, taught masters have more focus on subject-relevant substantive topics rather than acquiring the skills to undertake advanced research, which is the focus of this degree. You will have the opportunity to undertake research training alongside an independent research project, supported by a supervisor.
