Develop advanced research skills and prepare for doctoral study or a research-focused career in Psychology.
The Master of Research (MRes) in Evidence Based Practice is a postgraduate degree designed for individuals seeking to build expertise in research methods and practice across a range of disciplines. Whether you're a recent graduate or a professional aiming to advance your career, the MRes provides a rigorous and flexible route into research-intensive roles or PhD study.
Delivered by research-active staff, the programme offers opportunities to engage with real-world projects and develop independent research aligned to your interests. You will gain a strong foundation in qualitative and quantitative methodologies, critical analysis, and academic writing, while benefiting from expert supervision and a supportive research environment.
A degree from a UK university or equivalent is desirable but not essential. We also welcome applications from those with relevant professional experience plus evidence of ability to successfully undertake the course and benefit from it.
This pathway is suitable for graduates and professionals aiming for careers in psychological research or progression to PhD study.
Students on this programme have the opportunity to enhance their studies with a placement year, gain valuable work experience, and take part in international activities—potentially supported by the Turing funding.
