MRS Accredited Masters Degrees

MRS offers a system for the accreditation of Masters degrees in market or social research. Students who are awarded an accredited Masters degree by following one of these accredited programmes meet the qualification requirement for Full Membership of the MRS. (In order to qualify for Full Membership, however, candidates must also meet the three-year experience requirement.)

As part of this scheme, MRS offers a prize, awarded annually, to the best dissertation by a student studying on an MRS accredited Masters programme.

The purpose of the award is to recognise excellence in research-based dissertations.

The award is sponsored by RS Consulting Group.

The winner of the prize will be invited to attend the prestigious Research Excellence & Effectiveness Awards where they will be presented with the award.

The winner of the 2007 Prize is Susan Edwards-Aisuebeogun.
