Commercial research sector

"Since completing my MSc I have been working for Adelphi Values, providing research support on projects in the Endpoint Development and Outcomes Assessment practice. Tasks involve performing literature and internet-based research, carrying out qualitative and quantitative research and analysis, and writing reports of the selection, development and validation of patient-, clinician- and observer-reported outcomes."

"I enrolled on the SRMS master's course after seven years of working for a private sector social research company, principally to gain the theoretical underpinning to my practical research experience. The course has equipped me with a sound understanding of statistical and survey principles which I utilise regularly in my new job as a research project manager for a London based market research firm. The firm is a full service market research agency with a strong emphasis on international multi-country research projects; often with hard-to-reach elite audiences including MPs, newspaper editors, trade union leaders and company directors. Countries that I have managed research projects, include Japan, the US, South Korea, Poland, Russia, Germany and of course the UK."

"Studying part time I completed the SRMS MSc course at CMIST whilst also working as a Social Research Consultant. The course equipped me with many skills which were relevant to my job and have allowed me to improve my career prospects. I am now a Senior Research Consultant and Project Manager at a leading research consultancy and continuing the research interests developed during my studies."
