Course Overview

These postgraduate programmes aim to create highly sought-after researchers ready to apply their advanced knowledge and practical skills in the workplace or further research.

You will learn how to collect, analyse and interpret social data and become skilled in interview techniques, surveys, problem-solving, communication, and the latest industry software.

Students examine issues from across the social sciences and are introduced to both quantitative and qualitative research methods before having the option of specialising.
