Course programme

The benefits of studying for an MRes include: preparation for doctoral study, having an extended and informed experience of research in a specific domain of expertise, and developing higher transferable skills for research-related careers. Many of our students have gone on to successful PhD positions and higher-grade science and business posts.

I think the MRes greatly helped me get my current position, particularly during interview. The fact I had undertaken a MRes rather than a MA or MSc demonstrated my commitment to research as a career.
