Many students spend up to a year on overseas field-work.
Where the type of research training offered by the MSc in Social Research is thought appropriate to the student's needs, students will be recommended to register for this qualification. We welcome occasional students who wish to take advantage of specialist expertise available within the Institute. We are prepared to consider arrangements for joint supervision with other institutions, both academic and non-academic. All students are supervised by a panel of academic staff, consisting of the lead supervisor who is primarily responsible for overseeing the student's work and for monitoring progress and normally two advisers. The intention is to provide an adequate range of skills, particularly for interdisciplinary research, which is actively encouraged in the Institute and to expose the student to a range of opinions on their work.
