Course summary
A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you have a clear idea of the independent research you wish to undertake at masters level. The programme is a good stepping stone to a PhD, but is equally of value as a stand-alone qualification. As a Masters by Research student, you will be part of a wider masters community while specialising in what most interests you right from the beginning of the programme. This is how it is different to a taught Masters (MSc). Our research environment creates vital interdisciplinary linkages between China experts across the University of Edinburgh and beyond, including at other Scottish universities. Research excellence In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), our research was submitted in the following categories:
