This module prepares the student for independent study by consolidating and extending the knowledge and skills developed in the second year module on methodologies. The module presents an overview of the range of perspectives in contemporary research in the social sciences. This will allow students to locate research objectives and methodologies within wider contexts enabling them to reflect upon and identify assumptions that might otherwise remain tacit and unexplored in their own developing research interests.
