The Contemporary India (Research) MRes will provide you with the knowledge and research skills to investigate and understand political, social, economic and technological change in India. You will use these skills to produce an original piece of research with guidance from our expert staff, allowing you to explore your own academic and professional interests.
Our research-track master’s course offers you the opportunity to learn advanced research methods and apply them to modern India. The course can be tailored to your specific research interests, but it also draws on the expertise of the India Institute in multiple disciplines. It encourages you to produce work that is both academically rigorous and potentially practical in its application. You will be able to specialise in one of five pathways: Politics and political economy; Anthropology and social change; History; Cultural production in India (including media, literature and the performing arts); and Foreign and security policy.
The main component of this MRes is a piece of independent research in the form of a 30,000- word (maximum) dissertation. You will research and write your dissertation under the supervision of our expert staff.
Teaching
You will typically have 20 hours of teaching per 20-credit taught module as well as 180 hours of self-study (some modules may involve lab work or e-learning which would require less self-guided learning). Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work.
For the dissertation module, you usually have 1 dissertation workshop and 10 contact hours of one-to-one or group consultation with supervisors to complement 587 hours of self-study and project work.
Assessment
Assessment methods will depend on the modules selected. Most 20-credit modules are assessed by an essay or essays but some are assessed on class participation and attendance, oral vivas or exams, or a combination of these.
The Dissertation module is assessed by a 30,000-word essay.
Our course can serve as preparation for further academic research towards a PhD, or as an opportunity if you’re a mid-career professional to develop applied research focused on particular policy problems or professional themes.
