English (Taught)

This MRes prepares you for more advanced research projects at MPhil/PhD level, but is also a degree in its own right. It's ideal if you're considering a 'taster' year of research, or if you're keen to complete shorter term research at graduate level.

• Study in depth and reflect critically upon an aspect of research methods relevant to your dissertation topic, under the guidance of a supervisor.
