Some combinations of modules may not be available due to timetabling constraints and in exceptional circumstances the running of some modules may be determined by student demand. Modules might change for your year of entry.

As an MRes student you will receive a tailored package of academic and support elements to ensure you maximise your research and future career. The academic information is in the course profile and you will be supported by our Faculty of Medical Sciences Graduate School.

Our Medical Sciences Graduate School is dedicated to providing you with information, support and advice throughout your research degree studies. We can help and advise you on a variety of queries relating to your studies, funding or welfare.

Our Research Student Development Programme supports and complements your research whilst developing your professional skills and confidence.

You will make an on-going assessment of your own development and training needs through personal development planning (PDP) in the ePortfolio system. Our organised external events and development programme have been mapped against the Vitae Researcher Development Framework to help you identify how best to meet your training and development needs.

The Newcastle-Liverpool-Durham Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and offers:

• researchers the opportunity to address scientific biosciences questions
• an exceptional programme of research training, emphasising the interdisciplinary nature of modern biology
• the latest technologies and facilities to deliver world-class results

Each year we award around 30 fully-funded studentships across the partnership on the following research themes:

• food security
• bioenergy and industrial biotechnology
• basic bioscience underpinning health – lifelong age and wellbeing
• other world-class bioscience

A 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in a science or related discipline, or an MBBS degree with high grades. Practical laboratory work experience is desirable, but not essential.
