MSc Social Science Research Methods (Sociology) This programme reflects the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies’ expertise in research methods training. It provides comprehensive training in the whole process of research conceptualisation, design and operationalisation.


It is particularly suitable for those seeking a career as a social science researcher or going on to a PhD, including Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-funded doctoral study. It has been carefully formulated to reflect the training recommended by the ESRC and has been accredited as a research training programme.


The programme delivers a thorough theoretical and practical grounding in the variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods available to the social scientist and in the principal methods of analysing data. The programme also covers the philosophies underpinning the research process, ethical considerations and social theory. You will be encouraged to apply your methods training to your substantive research interests.


Students on this programme will take a combination of mandatory and optional taught units within the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies. Each unit is delivered over the course of 12 weeks and assessed by an essay (or equivalent form of written submission). The taught section of the programme is followed in the summer term by a dissertation.


Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree or equivalent qualification.


MSc Sociology This programme gives you the opportunity to extend your core sociological knowledge and understanding. It will also strengthen familiarity with the discipline for students whose background is in a related subject, but do not have specialist knowledge of sociology.


The key learning goals are to develop critical use and comprehension of social theory, gain a grounding in methodologies and techniques of enquiry, and focus on distinctive, substantive sociological topics, such as ethnicity, multiculturalism, gender, sexuality, religion and culture.


The dissertation gives you the opportunity to pursue a sociological project of your choice in greater depth, while still providing close academic supervision.


Bristol graduates are in high demand and have an excellent record of employment following graduation. Students of our MSc programmes go on to pursue varied and interesting careers.

Further details can be found on the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies’ careers and alumni website.
