Introduction to Social Science Research (SOCS0022)

This core year 1 module will provide you with an introduction to social science research and an understanding of the principles underlying social science research. You will explore what it means to do research, how research projects are designed and how previous knowledge helps researchers create a framework for their scholarly work. The module will draw on approaches to research from sociology, psychology and anthropology so that you have a well-rounded understanding of research in different social science disciplines.

In addition, this module will reflect on ethical issues in research and ‘researcher positioning’ and will provide you with study skills that you can take forward for your personal and working life.
