About this course
The programme is designed to cater to graduates in medicine and biomedical sciences who wish to gain valuable training in clinical research before embarking on a clinical PhD programme, medical training, or professional work in clinical trials. The successful completion of the MRes may also enhance opportunities for graduates to enter medical school or for MBBS graduates to progress to specialist medical training.
A medical degree (MBBS) or a minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in life or biomedical sciences (for example, neuroscience, pharmacology or chemistry) or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

Course programme
Students will be located in the internationally renowned UCL Institute of Neurology and the Leonard Wolfson Experimental Neurology Centre (LWENC) within the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) at Queen Square, London.
The programme combines theoretical and practical teaching on both the breadth of, and complexity in conducting clinical research. Topics include clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, research governance, statistics and the fundamental principle for using the correct enabling technologies within the context of medical research and drug development.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of three core modules (60 credits), and a dissertation/report (120 credits).
Core modules- Research Integrity & Governance (15 credits)
- Experimental Neurology (30 credits)
- Research Methods, including Critical Appraisal, and Introduction to Statistics (15 credits)
- Translational Neurology MRes Research Project (120 credits)
There are no optional modules for this programme.
Dissertation/reportAll students undertake a research project which culminates in a dissertation of 15,000 words.
Teaching and learningThe programme will combine lectures, workshops and tutorials. Practicals will focus on the role of surrogate markers and emerging technologies in drug development e.g. preclinical discovery, first-time-in-man studies, and early phase clinical trials in healthy volunteers and patients. Assessment is through short answer unseen examinations, coursework and presentations..
