Hope this is the right place. I'm planning on taking a masters in Social Research Methods, has anyone any experience of this?
It is a taught masters that focuses on how to research, and obviously, a dissertation. Both universities (Queens Belfast, and Ulster) offer the exact same degree with the same syllabus. It ties in with my career so far and working experience quite well and would be a good way for me to move into research in the social field. My experience is working with homelessness, addictions, etc. I also have a 2.2 in Politics from Manchester Met Uni, I'm not sure if that would hurt or help.
Queen's is distance learning, Ulster is part time on campus one night a week. Queens is the better regarded university, would distance learning hurt on a C.V in the future? I'm not sure what one to go for although I'll probably apply for both, I eventually would have to make a choice. This is obviously self-funded.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help!
