This module provides an introduction to the common approaches used in research in the humanities and social sciences. Students will gain a broad introductory understanding of research and actively engage with some of these research methods, carrying out small research tasks within the module.

This module will also support subject-specific learning and skills development to prepare students for the final research essays that they will write in the second semester.
