The programme aims to:

* provide students with a rigorous training in research methods, including epistemological and theoretical issues as well as quantitative and qualitative methods, appropriate for their doctoral studies;
* give students the flexibility to chose from a range of course options in the area of management research within a structured programme of courses;
* offer a range of qualitative and quantitative methods course units so that students could chose the level and specialism that is appropriate to their background and current research training needs;
* provide systematic and critical knowledge of one specific subject area of management research (such as accounting or marketing) so they appreciate current debates and issues;
* introduce students to different paradigms to management research/studies thus equipping them with the general background to become professional researchers in management;
* produce students who have the knowledge and skills to appreciate the growing importance of interdisciplinary research in management;
* foster students' skills in analysis, argument, independent thinking, and effective oral and written self-expression and presentation skills;
* build transferable employment related skills, so that students can become life-long learners able to apply their knowledge and skills in variety of contexts;
* encourage initiative, independent learning and commitment to scholarship; and
* develop core skills IT in computer literacy, numeracy, and use of databases.

The MRes programme is designed to meet the research training needs of students who intend to continue their postgraduate studies and complete a PhD but either do not have any postgraduate experience or have postgraduate degrees that are deemed to provide insufficient research training. We can envisage however that other types of students (students who wish to pursue a career as researchers in B&M consultancies, for example) might be interested in completing the MRes. Apart from providing an orientation to Doctoral research the MRes programme equips students with a range of generic and subject specific research skills and knowledge. It also develops students personal and career development skills and a number of transferable skills.

The Master of Research in Management is awarded in recognition of the successful completion of an approved programme of training and research. Students will pursue a programme of training and research which combines advanced study, research methodology and a substantial research project, or series of research projects.

It is a one year Master's degree which is designed to give students the opportunity to both develop their knowledge of specialist areas of business and management and develop the research skills essential for doctoral research. Many students who complete an MRes go on to apply to study a PhD.

The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa. The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.

We are currently reviewing the masters scholarships available for home, EU and international students for the September 2014 intake.

In 2013 we awarded a number of scholarships to home and international students to the value of £5,000 each. The successful students were able to demonstrate the following:

* Excellent academic performance.
* Graduated with a minimum high 2.1 or 1st UK undergraduate degree or overseas equivalent.
* Previously studied at a university with a strong academic reputation and ranking.
* Potential to contribute and enrich all aspects of the Masters programme and the diverse academic and cultural profile of the Master class.
