This programme is a structured blend of graduate education in theory and methods, and supervised research. The taught elements of the programme draw on existing modules offered to postgraduate students in the School of Law and Department of Sociology to deliver both a broader graduate education for research students, and a more specific focus for individual students. Formal instruction in research methodology forms the basis of the taught element of the programme, and this is achieved by including three distinct taught modules per semester in first year as a fundamental element of the graduate programme. This combination of modules is supplemented by the development of generic skills.<br>###COVID Alert Message from University – Students studying on campus will take a mixture of on-campus and online classes in Semester 1.
