The Department welcome applications for the course from students who possess or expect to obtain a good first degree in sociology or a related discipline or an interdisciplinary programme including a substantial element of sociology. A preparatory reading course or preliminary Diploma may be offered to students with nonstandard qualifications. The course currently attracts quota awards for fulltime students from both the MRC and ESRC and has 'RT' recognition from the ESRC, i.e. the research training provided exempts students proceeding to PhD study from further general research training. The deadline for nominations for MRC Awards is late July. Applicants wishing to be considered for these awards should therefore apply as soon as possible.
