The first of its kind in the UK, this new Masters degree course — delivered part-time over two years — provides an exciting opportunity for postgraduate research training. As a Masters by Research, approximately 60 per cent of the course consists of a practical research project, supervised by senior academics in the Division of Mental Health at St George’s, University of London. The project is supported by core taught modules focused on research methodology, project management and applied mental-health research.
The overall aim of this Masters course is to provide a focused programme of practical and academic study to enable students with an appropriate undergraduate degree and relevant experience to acquire the necessary research skills as a basis for future careers in mental-health research, including doctoral degrees and relevant areas of employment.
