Duration
1 Year
This course is designed to provide high-quality training to potential doctoral students. Studying for an MRes-type qualification before starting your PhD will give you experience of a broad range of qualitative and quantitative research methods, and enable you to develop a more in-depth research proposal.
It's also suitable if you need research skills in your planned or current profession. We've increasingly seen a greater need to collect, collate and analyse performance data in a variety of public and private sector organisations and, as a stand-alone qualification, our course will provide social science research training.
About this course
Specifically the course provides:
a combination of the academic study of key theoretical and quantitative economics with the development of research and writing skills
a critical evaluation of current and applied economics research
an ability to evaluate and contribute to economic debates
an ideal preparation for would-be researchers in economics in general and for those wishing to proceed to a PhD in economics
the opportunity to mix with social science researchers from other disciplines (taking associated MRes courses) – recognising the increasing importance of interdisciplinary research
Course intake is limited to foster a friendly and supportive learning environment.
IELTS: 6.5 overall with no less than 6.0 in all components
The Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic): 62 with no less than 59 in any element
TOEFL IBT: 90 overall with a minimum 21 in all 4 components
If you need to improve your English language skills before starting your studies, you may be able to take a pre-sessional course to reach the required level.
