Programme Aims
This programme provides an opportunity to acquire research skills by undertaking independent research that's related to the School's on-going research programme.
Programme Structure
The period of study for the degree is one year full-time or two years part-time.
You will be assigned a supervisor, and with his or her guidance you will undertake independent research and write it up in a dissertation. While the emphasis is on independent research work, your supervisor will identify your training needs and so may encourage you to attend research training classes and/or some taught courses in Informatics.
To be awarded the degree of MSc by Research you will submit a dissertation for assessment by a Board of Examiners. The dissertation will be assessed under the regulations specified in the Research Assessment Regulations (see http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/academic-services/policies-regulations/regulations/assessment).
