Hi Sheila
Good to hear from you and to hear that you are thinking of doing postgraduate research! There are a variety of options available in Swansea University - please follow the link below for details of our MRes and Professional Doctorate. http://www.swansea.ac.uk/humanandhealthsciences/Postgraduate/Researchdegrees/
Unfortunately, neither of these courses are run as Distance Learning programmes. If you want to study at a distance, the easiest option would be to opt for a PhD/MPhil. It is possible to manage an MPhil/PhD over considerable distances as long as you would be willing to attend for supervision a few times a year. We have many PhD students who do this, and we're experienced in providing good support via email, phone and skype.
Do contact me offline if you'd like to discuss further. There may also be some Welsh opportunities for funded postgraduate research studentships being advertised over the next few months - look on the NISCHR site for further details http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/home.cfm?orgid=580.
All best wishes
Billie

Dear All,
I am seeking advice on postgraduate research programs. I have been looking at MRes programs versus a MPhil here in the UK; a professional doctorate has also been suggested to me. I would prefer a distance learning component. I am a midwife in Wales and have had minimal involvement in research to date. I would appreciate any advice from those who supervise students and those who are currently undertaking postgraduate research studies.
Thank you!
Sheila
