MRes Master of Research

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MRes 1 year full-time, up to 5 years part-time

Course Description

MRes degrees can be studied as a stepping stone to doctoral level study or as a standalone qualification for those interested in research careers in industry.

Students spend one third of the course studying four taught modules which follow a common framework, and the remainder of their time is focused on an in-depth research project. The area of research and title of the research project are agreed with a dedicated supervisor. The courses are delivered in one or two-week blocks throughout the academic year.

We offer a range of MRes titles, which are reviewed each year, and all subjects link in to areas of research that the university is actively involved with. The programme provides:

  • a thorough understanding of your chosen area of study
  • practical and technical skills relevant to your subject
  • the ability to formulate and test an hypothesis and draw valid conclusions
  • the ability to solve problems by applying novel research techniques.

Entry Requirements

Candidates should possess one of the following:

  • Honours degree (2.1 or First)
  • Honours degree plus previous and appropriate research experience
  • Postgraduate diploma or equivalent (at merit or distinction)
