What is the benefit to me?

The MSc Research Methods in Health Sciences provides training for those intending to go on to a career that includes health related research. This includes those aiming for a PhD and those wanting to undertake high quality research as part of their professional practice in health care.

You will learn to systematically review research literature, critically evaluate of evidence, develop research questions and apply a range of research approaches and skills relevant to research in health sciences.

This programme is carefully structured, developed and delivered by experts in their fields, often drawing on individual research experience.

Teaching is through seminars and lectures and includes a dissertation - an extensive piece of work that you will choose, research and write with individual supervision from your tutor.

The period of study for the MSc Research Methods in Health Sciences is normally one year full-time or three years part-time.

Please note that there is no Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma available in Research Methods in Health Sciences

Is it right for me?

All candidates must satisfy the Board of Graduate Studies’ requirements for entry. Normally, candidates should have obtained at least a lower second class honours degree (2:2) or equivalent.

We welcome graduates from a range of disciplines where health is an area of interest including biology, organisation sciences, behavioural sciences, social sciences, education, and medical and health sciences.

The course is also suitable for health professionals with an interest in undertaking research as part of their professional practice.

A taught postgraduate course at Warwick can offer you advanced and detailed study that builds on your first degree and develops specific skills for your chosen career.

We are looking for bright, talented and motivated individuals who are willing to make a real contribution to graduate study at Warwick.
