The MRes can be pursued as a stand-alone degree or as the first year of a planned PhD, and when appropriate a conditional offer of admission to the doctoral programme will be made.

Alongside the substantive modules offered in conjunction with the School's MRes Economics, the programme includes a core module in research design and qualitative methods taken jointly with social science students from a range of disciplines across QMUL, Kings College London, and Imperial College as part of the training offered by the ESRC funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP).Ê
