- As a Masters by Research student, you can choose a specific research project and work with a greater degree of independence than on a taught masters course. The focus of your work will be an independent research project, and we will provide training which will equip you with skills in a wide range of research methods to support your growing expertise.
- During your course, your academic progress will be assessed through a range of methods, including formal and informal meetings, written work, seminars and presentations. Your research will culminate in a thesis of up to 50,000 words, which is expected to display a systematic understanding of knowledge and a critical awareness of the issues within your academic discipline.
