Social Research. Birkbeck, University of London

This is an interdisciplinary social science training programme designed to prepare students for further research in the workplace or for PhD/MPhil study. The programme covers ontology, epistemology, quantitative and qualitative techniques, and advanced methods masterclasses. All students also carry out an independent dissertation, putting into practice the methods and theoretical concepts they have been taught. The programme provides a particularly strong environment for theoretically informed, interdisciplinary and socially engaged research.
