Engineering and Computing MSc by Research

The MSc by Research provides a unique opportunity for those who wish to embark on a career in research and development but do not wish to commit to a three-year PhD. You will also receive training in research skills through a number of workshops. In these workshops you will develop your skills in research design and methodology, data analysis, academic writing, presentation and other transferable research skills. The majority of your time will be spent working on your research project in the library, laboratories or elsewhere, under the direction of your supervisor. You will have regular meetings with your supervisor to review progress and plan future activities. You may also spend brief periods at partner sites, for example where your project involves collaboration with industry. Those who graduate with the award of MSc by Research will be qualified for a wide range of careers in industry and academia.
