The University of Bath has a full-time Masters of Research studentship – as part of a project addressing issues of social and economic development in Frome.
The Department of Social & Policy Sciences, in partnership with Frome Town Council, is looking to undertake a research project aimed at supporting local organisations in Frome, as they collaborate to address problems of austerity and to promote prosperity and wellbeing in the town.
In association with this research, applications are invited for a studentship to pursue a full-time Masters of Research (MRes) in the Department of Social & Policy Sciences, commencing in October 2016.
MRes Social Policy

The course involves taught courses and three applied research projects, spread out through the year. For this studentship, the projects will address issues of social and economic development in Frome.
