Course summary

Our Bioscience Department MRes programme gives you expert research training embedded in our world-class research groups. The first term is all about advanced skills training at postgraduate level with guidance for research project selection and refinement. Students start their 9 month research project phase at the end of January.The formal teaching structure during the 1st semester ensures that students improve their skills in writing, analytical approaches and critical thinking to postgraduate level. Students also select two additional modules in line with research interests (e.g., GIS, biodiversity and health ecology, endangered species, biodiversity assessment). After module assessments, students are then ready to conduct an independent research project that is guided by a supervisory team in the department. We expect students to produce a research thesis that is of publication standard and many MRes projects are published after award of MRes.
