Overview

The Research in Management programme of Cardiff Metropolitan University has been designed to incorporate a taught phase (80 credits) and research phase (100 credits) that will support candidates from the initial stages of conceptualising and developing research ideas, and critically analysing empirical literature, through to planning and completing a substantial, independent research project in a specialist subject.

The modular approach, with set assessments, provides candidates with clear progression milestones throughout the programme of study, while the 100-credit dissertation ensures a majority of the studied credit is awarded to independent research. These features ensure the MRes provides a more research-intensive focus than typical taught master’s programmes (e.g., MSc, MA), while removing the uncertainty often experienced when studying for a less structured Level 7 award, such as the MPhil.

Employability & Careers

The MRes prepares candidates for the next stage in their research career, whether pursuing a further research programme (such as a PhD or Taught Doctorate) or entering research-based employment.

MRes graduates will have developed core skills in critical thinking, reflection and academic writing, research design and research methods, ethics and integrity, and issues aligned with trusted research.

Most modules are assessed via a coursework portfolio which can include some of the following options:
