Some prospective postgraduate students already have a clear idea of the area and topic that they wish to research. Correspondingly, some research areas and topics can be clearly supported at Nottingham and consequently a student can effectively lay the ground work for a PhD by doing a Masters by Research rather than a taught Masters. While this degree is still classed as a Research Preparation Masters, it is assessed solely by Dissertation and is taught preponderantly via supervision. Students attend a research training module in semester 1 and attend the weekly graduate work-in-progress seminars to which they contribute a paper in semester 2. However, they work with a main supervisor and co-supervisor on a pre-agreed research topic. They submit a 30,000 word dissertation at the end of the year which is marked by both an internal and an external examiner with the possibility of a viva to confirm the award.
Since students are expected to complete a piece of research in just one year, the MRes degree requires candidates to work in areas of staff expertise and with a practical sense of the resources to which they have ready access. Advice is available from the School. Recently MRes students have pursued topics on American photography and commemoration and Hollywood Christmas films.
