Our MRes Molecular Medicine will help you to develop the key skills you will need for a research career, and allow you to put these into practice when you develop and conduct your own research project. Studying a masters degree in Molecular Medicine at Derby will:
Develop you into a confident, independent researcher by teaching you essential research skills
Enable you to plan, execute, and evaluate your own biological research
Give you a stand-alone research qualification or bridge the gap between an undergraduate degree and PhD
Allow you to study full-time or part-time to support your other commitments
Provide you with the opportunity to conduct a substantial research project within your field of interest and under expert supervision
We have specialised laboratory facilities available for your research projects. Our facilities will help develop lab skills required for lab projects and laboratory experiments. These include a molecular laboratory housing qPCR and DGGE equipment, an imaging suite, human cell culture facility, a dedicated microbiology laboratory, and an analytical suite housing GC/MS, HPLC, AAS, UV-Vis, IC as well as a scanning electron microscope and transmission microscope. We have also recently secured £850k of capital funding to establish a new Omics facility. This ultra-modern, innovative research facility will provide training in the new and emerging fields of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics.
You will need an undergraduate degree (typically 2:1 or higher, 2:2 will be considered) in biology, human biology, biomedical health or a related subject. If you have professional experience in human health, you may also be considered as eligible for this course.
After completing our MRes in Molecular Medicine, you’ll be in a stronger position to secure a career within your field of interest. It could also be the springboard into pharmaceutical and research-based companies for your area of research. Career opportunities that may be available to you upon completion of this course are: research associate, analytical consultant, scientific writer, laboratory manager, or scientific advisor.
Should you wish to continue your learning experience beyond masters level, our course will prepare you for further study towards a PhD.
