What will I learn?

A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you would like to complete a short piece of independent research in German studies. The programme is a good stepping-stone to a PhD, but is equally of value as a stand-alone qualification.An MScR programme is likely to suit you if:you have a clear idea what you would like to write your masters dissertation about, right from the beginning of the programmeyou would like to be part of a large and supportive postgraduate community, while working independently
