MRes Engaged Research (full-time) at Liverpool John Moores University

The MRes in Engaged Research is built around a live, client-engaged project in an organisational or public service setting. The MRes in Engaged Research is a 180-credit Level 7 programme organised around one coherent research journey: from initial problem framing and scoping, through research design and ethics, to implementation, analysis and dissemination. The programme combines advanced research preparation with a substantial project developed and delivered with a client organisation or public service partner.
