Social Research and Law and Legal Studies MRes

Birkbeck, University of London

Our MRes Social Research and Law and Legal Studies is an interdisciplinary social science training programme designed to prepare you for further research in the workplace or for MPhil/PhD study. The course covers ontology, epistemology, quantitative and qualitative techniques, and advanced methods masterclasses alongside substantive courses in the area of law and legal studies. You will also carry out an independent dissertation, putting into practice the methods and theoretical concepts you have been taught. The course provides a particularly strong environment for theoretically informed, interdisciplinary and socially engaged research. It follows an evening timetable with classes in the evening.
