To gain important skills you’ll need to go on to study for a PhD:
Experience to work in a research environment with senior and junior researchers, post-docs, PhD and MSc students, and laboratory technicians,
Enhance your employment opportunities in academic and private research institutions, as well as in pharmaceutical industry
Our Master’s by research Programmes overview
You will be placed in one of our research labs to do a 12-month tailored research project. During this period, you will receive formal training in research-related skills. At the end of your research project, you are expected to write a thesis on your studies and to defend this in a viva examination.
Our research programme brings together expertise from across many subject areas in the biomedical sciences to provide you with training in several key areas of current research interest.
The programme focuses on experimental science and a research-informed dissertation. It will provide you with practical laboratory-based experience with access to specialist techniques in state-of-the-art facilities.
