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. It 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). Join our community and undertake two research assignments, and a 15,000-word dissertation, under the guidance of an experienced and well-published supervisor. Research excellence In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), our research in Russian Studies was submitted in Modern Languages and Linguistics (Panel D - Arts and Humanities; Unit of Assessment 26). The results reaffirm Edinburgh’s position as one of the UK’s leading research universities - third in the UK. As published in Times Higher Education's REF power ratings, this result is based on the quality and breadth of our research in the unit of assessment. Our expertise covers a wide range of areas, including:
- social, political and cultural perspectives on Russian language
- transnational Russian culture
- Russian literature
- media
- film studies
- theatre studies
- comparative literature
