Masters / Diploma in Social Research Methods

Are you interested in carrying out research into men’s health?  Are you trying to make sense of a research report?  If so, why not think about doing a course in research methods? ...  The School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work at Queen’s University Belfast offers a postgraduate Masters or Diploma in Social Research Methods (MRes / DipRes).  The course provides grounding in both quantitative and qualitative research skills, as well as their practical application.  These taught modules are usually given during evenings or at weekends.  The Diploma involves taking four modules, while Masters students do an additional research dissertation.  The course can be done in one year on a full-time basis or over two years part-time.  Applicants will be expected to hold a good honours degree in a relevant subject.  However, those with an alternative qualification and/or an approved level of relevant work experience may be admitted.  A limited number of Home / EU fees-only bursaries are available for the coming year.  The deadline for a bursary application is 30th June 2012.  To discuss the course or an application, please contact the course Director, Prof Robert Miller (Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
