Preparing for your studies Preparation for our taught degrees If
possible we recommend that you do some general background
reading before beginning your studies, to better prepare you for
the programme. The best preparation is to read recent articles
in educational journals - start with topics that interest you.
You should also familiarise yourself with approaches to
educational research by looking at text books which explore and
explain educational research methodology; reading these texts
alongside current empirical research will help you to begin to
understand research approaches.
