Social Research Methods in Action are two intermediate modules offered as part of our degree-level course in social sciences.

The first module will explore qualitative methods and methodologies, the second, quantitative methods and methodologies. Both are designed to give you further practice in the tools and techniques of social research, and help you to deepen your understanding of the two main branches of social research, namely, quantitative and qualitative research.

In particular, the modules will build your understanding of particular research methods in detail, and will explore in more depth the principles and ideas underpinning the two approaches to social research – qualitative and quantitative.
The two modules also follow the introductory modules in their approach to learning and teaching. In both of them your learning will be based on actually doing some research in small project groups.
While the intermediate modules do build on the introductory ones offered last year, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take the intermediate ones because you missed the introductory modules. The intermediates are self–contained and stand alone.
