    Course Summary

    It is not uncommon for a new graduate to discover a deep affinity for research in their undergraduate studies. Many would like to stud at the Master’s level, but not in a predefined MA or MSc program. Newman University’s research degrees are there to fill the gap, allowing students to engage in a full year of independent yet guided research in a specialism as unique as they are.

    The Human Sciences MRes program is very flexible, in that you can truly build your own degree program. Almost any topic that falls under the umbrella of the Human Sciences (Health & Social Care, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Psychology or even Sport Physical activity & Health) can be appropriate.

    Newman University’s MRes program in the Human Sciences utilises blended learning to ensure that you get the most benefit from the program in as flexible a manner as possible. This makes it easier to study around work, family or other commitments.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This degree program is typically delivered over a single year at full time. However, part time options are available, and the school will work with you to make your studies fit around your availability.

    Not only will you learn a great deal about your chosen area of specialty, you’ll learn how to conduct research of all kinds at the Master’s level. This will come in handy in nearly any kind of academic or commercial research career.

    As to the structure of the course itself, it is divided into four separate modules. These include:

    • Research Methods
    • Practical research skills
    • Theory of Practice
    • Dissertation

    The Dissertation is the real capstone of the program. Here you’ll use the research and professional skills you’ve learned so far to plan, design, conduct and report upon an independent research project.

    This course makes excellent preparation for a PhD or any similar, highly advanced academic or professional studies.

    Learning & Teaching

    The modules which compose the bulk of Newman University’s MRes program are delivered primarily through weekly lectures. These lectures and all of their accompanying materials and content will be remotely, via the University’s interactive Moodle distance learning platform. However, this is a ‘blended learning’ program, not entirely ‘remote’. Each module will also feature four separate half-day input sessions where you will meet with course tutors face to face. The Dissertation will also include significant amounts of contact time.

    Career Possiblities

    This is a research degree from a highly respected university, and as such you will have many career potions before you, commercial, professional and academic.

    Many students use this degree as a pathway to their PhD, not only qualifying as a Master’s level student but learning how to do high level research with minimal supervision. However, these self-directed research skills are exactly what many employers in the private and public sectors are looking for in researcher and analyst posts. 

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 1 year MRes degree.

    Applicants must typically have earned a 2:1 or better undergraduate degree, or the international equivalent. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An excellent IELTS score would qualify, for example.
