Biosciences (MRes)

About

The Master of Research (MRes) in Biosciences is a one-year programme designed to provide a valuable postgraduate qualification that enables individuals to undertake a substantial 6-month research project in the laboratory of an internationally-renowned scientist. The programme is well suited for someone thinking of undertaking a PhD but wishing first to learn more about research in biosciences, and also for those seeking careers in research outside academia.

Programme aims

To equip postgraduates with the essential skills, techniques and direct laboratory experience necessary to pursue a future career in research.

The MRes course really immersed us into the world of scientific research through doing a 6 month lab project in which time we saw the inner-workings of a lab group and also got to work with more senior researchers in the field. My research was also published and this was a very proud moment! Overall the experience helped me decide where I wanted to go in the future and I’m now studying Medicine. There is a strong research focus as clinical practice and research are becoming more intertwined, and MRes has definitely prepared me for this.
