Depending on your research interests you will be placed within a research group within the Department of Education, which will have seminar and reading group activities that you can join.
You will also spend a small period of time shadowing an experienced researcher.
The programme aims to:
- teach you to systematically review alternative approaches, methodologies and paradigms of research in social and educational enquiry
- enable you to critically evaluate the application of these approaches in the specific areas of social and educational enquiry in which students are specialising
- support you within an active research community, in identifying and investigating your own original research questions
- equip you with the skills to contribute to research projects using any of the main methodologies of the social sciences.
