Overview

MRes degree programmes are designed for graduates who are contemplating a research career and who may go on to study for a PhD or to a position in industry involving interaction with research scientists.

If these do not apply, you might consider an MSc programme

The programmes provide a unique mix of taught components, extended laboratory projects, literature reviews and preparation of a grant proposal based on a research dissertation. They give students an insight into a range of state-of-the-art research activities and techniques, and provide generic, transferable skills training needed for all early stage researchers. The programmes also address the scientific, ethical and commercial context within which the research takes place.

All of the MRes programmes can be studied as the first year of our Integrated or New Route PhD programme.

This programme can be customised to fit the career aspirations of an individual student and be designed from a choice of over 50 taught units and 70 lab projects, to cater for research interests as varied as structural biology through to animal behaviour.
