Description

Course description

Hannah Wilson

One of the best things about the course is the opportunity to carry out smaller research projects within the QRM (Research Methods) units.

This means that I will graduate having already had experience of carrying out qualitative and quantitative research.

Hannah Wilson / MSc Sociological Research student

This course aims to educate and train you to give you the requisite skills and knowledge to become an effective, professional sociological researcher. This entails teaching:

the philosophical underpinnings of sociology;

key issues and questions in sociology;

key sociological theories;

key issues in selected substantive areas of sociology (students are offered a range of options of such substantive areas);

principles of research design;

techniques and principles of quantitative analysis; and

Techniques and principles of qualitative analysis.

This is a recognised 1+3 entry route for ESRC PhD training.

Teaching and learning

Part-time students complete the full-time course over two years. There are no evening or weekend course units available on the part-time route.

You must first check the schedule of the compulsory modules and then select your optional modules to suit your requirements.

Updated timetable information will be available from mid-August and you will have the opportunity to discuss your module choices during induction week with your Course Director.

Coursework and assessment

You are assessed by course work, mainly via 3,000 word essays or the equivalent, plus a 12,000 word dissertation.

Course unit details

Throughout the MSc Sociological Research course, you will take six course units, which are:
