ABOUT
Introduction
UWE Bristol is one of five universities that makes up the South West Doctoral Training Partnership – a consortium accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council to provide specialist postgraduate research training in the social sciences.
Gain an in-depth understanding of conducting social research, and use your skills to carry out your own research study on this specially designed MRes Social Research course. The course provides excellent preparation for social science doctoral study or for research careers in the public or private sectors. It fulfils the pre-requisite for studying a PhD at UWE Bristol through the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP) on the Sustainable Futures pathway.
Policy-making, planning and management across society and the economy needs to be underpinned by robust social scientific evidence. Focusing on the ‘societal challenge’ – how to promote sustainable futures – this MRes Social Research will give you the skills to critically evaluate existing evidence and conduct your own social research project with an interdisciplinary framing.

Please note this structure is for the full-time course delivery only. For part-time delivery, the same modules will be studied. However, the structure will differ.
The University continually enhances our offer by responding to feedback from our students and other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum is kept up to date and our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the real world. This may result in changes to the course. If changes to your course are approved we will inform you.
Study time
The MRes lasts one year full-time or two years part-time, running from September to September in both cases. All 30 credit modules require 300 hours of study and 15 credit modules 150 hours.
Your study time will consist of a mix of contact time, where you attend lectures, seminars and workshops at the University; private study time; and supervision meetings. The exact split between those elements will vary on each module. As a guide, 15 credit modules usually have around 36 taught hours, and the 60 credit dissertation includes 12 hours of one-to-one supervision.
