This study investigates the integration of research training within undergraduate degrees in four social science disciplines: Sociology, Business, Economics, and Politics. By surveying 34 universities, it analyzes programme specifications to measure the focus on quantitative methods, qualitative methods, and undergraduate research. Key findings indicate noticeable differences in research methods training across disciplines, with Politics exhibiting weaker commitment. Additionally, pre-1992 institutions demonstrate a stronger dedication to undergraduate research compared to their post-1992 counterparts, highlighting ongoing trends in research education.

  16. Research Methods Across Disciplines

  17. Observations • There are distinct differences across disciplines, but an overwhelming majority retain a commitment to research methods training and undergraduate research. • Politics, with its split background in the humanities, appears the weakest of the four disciplines surveyed. • There is no strong differences in provision between Russell Group institutions and others. • There is a tendency for pre-1992 universities to show a stronger commitment to undergraduate research than post-1992 institutions for these four disciplines.
