Master of Science in Research Methodology

A one year master degree in research design, covering quantitative and qualitative method, statistics, research ethics, data management and a substantial methodological project.

A research methodology master is preparation for doctoral study or research employment rather than for a subject specialism, which makes it unusual among the masters offered here.

Master of Science in Research Methodology is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the research methodology master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the research methodology master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the research methodology master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the research methodology master does not support a family move.

Admission to Master of Science in Research Methodology requires a completed bachelor degree at 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the research methodology master is recorded at GBP 18,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the research methodology master. The research methodology master lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the research methodology master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
