Taught by a team with national leading teaching quality metrics and nationally and internationally recognised research, the MSc Social Research combines the philosophical and methodological foundations for social research with advanced methods training. This combination will enable you to become part of a new generation of social researchers integrating creative and imaginative critical thinking with the qualitative and quantitative tools necessary for addressing current interdisciplinary global challenges. We have a strong record of aligning evidence and expertise with policy and practice, which we believe is highly attractive for students seeking to develop expertise in areas where they can go on to work in academia or in the public sector, third sector organisations, think tanks or business. Areas of particular expertise include health services research, media, working with offender communities and local community organisations.
