Course summary
The MSc by Research is a one-year programme which allows you to pursue your research interests.
Unlike a conventional taught master’s course, you work full-time on your own research project. You'll be supported with a small number of taught modules to develop your knowledge and practical skills.
You'll have 12 months to experiment and collect data, and a further three months (if required) to write your thesis.
The MSc course is ideal if:
- You would like to study for a research degree without the three- or four-year commitment to a PhD degree
- You would like to study a further qualification to prepare you for PhD study
- You are an overseas student requiring an interim qualification after 12 to 15 months' study
MSc by Research - Distance Learning
The MSc by Research - Distance Learning (DL) - is a one-year programme which allows you to pursue your research interests from home.
