Research degrees

Our degrees offer you the opportunity to explore innovative ways to tackle major social, economic and cultural problems.

We are committed to the pursuit of excellence through learning, and our supervisors will support you to develop your existing knowledge and skills to make a difference in your professional field.

With our support, you can focus on your area of expertise and can be jointly supervised by our academics and a collaborating partner, if you are working in partnership with an external organisation.

We offer workshops available via our Virtual Learning Environments and electronic and physical access to our campus library.

Subject specialisation offers you the chance to explore your area of expertise in greater depth, with the support of our tutors.

Our academics are experts in their fields and you will work with a supportive peer group, with access to our specialist facilities on our North London campus. You will develop rigorous research and project management skills and have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to professional or organisation learning and development.

This degree is an entirely research-based Master's programme. The majority of your time will be spent working on your research project in the library, laboratories or elsewhere, under the direction of your supervisors.

You may also have tutorial lectures in the key areas of you chosen field. You will have regular meetings with your supervisor to review progress and plan future activities. You may also spend brief periods at partner sites, for example where your project involves collaboration with industry.
