Summary
**Develop in-depth knowledge and skills of research methods. Prepare yourself for an academic or professional career with a focus on psychology.**
This course will expose you to a toolkit of methods you can use in your future research projects. In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop your practical skills in specific research methods; develop your theoretical thinking about research; and work closely on several of your own projects with an academic who is an active researcher in their field.
This course aims to equip you with the skills to design, conduct, analyse and report a wide range of research projects and make you an efficient consumer of other people’s research. You will also acquire the communication skills and other key skills necessary to become an excellent researcher.
**South West Doctoral Training Partnership**
This MRes is recognised by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), specifically, as part of the larger South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP). It can be taken as a course in its own right or if you hold an SWDTP studentship you can take the 1+3 (MRes + PhD) pathway.
If you wish to be considered for a 1+3 SWDTP studentship, then you must apply for your preferred PhD route and not the stand alone MRes. You should follow our how to apply and funding guidelines.
For those holding a 1+3 SWDTP studentship, progression from the MRes to the MPhil or PhD stage is dependent on an acceptable level of achievement.

| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above. To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in psychology or related discipline. Applicants should provide a short research proposal with their application. The proposal helps the admissions tutor to assess the area of research that interests you and match your application with a potential supervisor. It won't be binding, and can be changed if your application is successful. The proposal should not be more than 4 pages in length and include the following information: a brief description of your proposed project, the objectives and methods of investigation, the historical background to the project, how it will contribute to the field (i.e. who will benefit from this research; how will they benefit; what will be done to ensure that they have the opportunity to benefit), the names of at least two supervisors who you think may be interested in your application with a brief description of how your research interests match theirs. Also tell us if you have already been in contact with them, how your undergraduate qualifications, postgraduate qualifications and work experience have prepared you for the research you wish to carry out and why you are seeking a place at Bath. We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree. If your first language is not English but within the last 2 years, you completed your degree in the UK, you may be exempt from our English language requirements. |
