The MSc by Research (MScR) at the School of Social and Political Science is a Masters-level research degree designed primarily as preparation for doctoral-level study. It provides structured training in research design, data collection and data analysis, alongside an independent research project under supervision. Applicants specify Social Work as their subject area, identify a willing supervisor, and submit a research proposal as part of the application. Core components cover research training skills, with further development via subject-area workshops and School professional skills sessions. Social Work is one of the listed MScR subject areas within the programme’s expertise portfolio. The School offers Social Work research strengths spanning topics such as refugees and asylum, social security, children’s rights, violence against children and women, mental health and social work, friendship and social support, and innovation in restorative justice systems, which can inform MScR projects in Social Work. 来源： https://www.napier.ac.uk/courses/msc-social-research-and-policy-postgraduate-full-time
