Postgraduate Certificate Advanced Research Skills

Postgraduate Certificate Advanced Research Skills is a Masters program taught at School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

SOAS University of London offers the Postgraduate Certificate Advanced Research Skills, built around two modules: Research Project Management and Technology-Enhanced Research. Students study skills for designing and managing research projects, working with colleagues across disciplines, and developing knowledge and skills for high-quality research in the digital age.

The programme can be taken entirely online, with additional optional on campus classes. Research Project Management is delivered in a blended mode and includes weekly content on Moodle plus weekly offline sessions, with offline attendance optional. Technology-Enhanced Research runs in Term 2 with weekly online activities and classroom sessions, with independent study replacing classroom time for students not based at SOAS.

The certificate is described as an integral part of SOAS’s PhD programme. It can also be taken as self-standing training to supplement PhD studies elsewhere or to upscale skills in a professional environment. Completing both modules qualifies students for the Postgraduate Certificate if they withdraw from the PhD programme.
