SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH METHODS - MRES
Social research enables us to generate knowledge about the social world, including insights into public opinion and patterns of collective behaviour that might otherwise remain hidden. Social research is an essential tool in supporting policy makers to recognise and understand social issues and reach decisions about the design and implementation of appropriate responses. On this course you will learn how to plan, conduct and manage social research projects, and develop theoretical models to inform responses to real world social issues.
The taught modules on the programme offer advanced instruction in a range of qualitative and quantitative research methods and methodologies and introduce you to the tools used in the management and analysis of data. Your studies culminate in an original piece of applied research supported by a supervisor in your discipline (see Our Expertise for more information about what we do).
