Program Outline


Degree Overview:

The MA by Research in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at the University of Lincoln is a postgraduate research program offered by the Eleanor Glanville Institute. The program aims to critically address issues of equality, diversity, and inclusion, advancing new ideas unconstrained by disciplinary boundaries. Students can engage in cutting-edge research with real-life impact and contribute to the Institute's ambition to change culture and achieve inclusive excellence. The program provides the opportunity to undertake research alongside academics whose research has been internationally recognized.


Teaching:

This research program relies on independent study and research, supervised by academic staff. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor at least once a month, but the precise frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of program. Students might also attend seminars and other research activities.


Careers:

A research program provides the opportunity to become a true expert in your chosen field, while developing a range of valuable transferable skills that can support your career progression. A research-based degree is also the most direct pathway to an academic career. Research degrees are a great chance to expand your network and meet diverse people with similar interests, knowledge, and passion. It also offers support and training to help equip you for both academic and non-academic careers.
