Master of Research in Molecular and Cellular Biology (MRes)
Program Overview
Discover the secrets hidden within cells and molecules. Our Molecular and Cellular Biology MRes offers professional training in cutting-edge techniques, and allows you to develop as a young researcher headed for a PhD or a career in industry.
This master's programme is designed to provide hands-on scientific training through a year of intensive instruction in fundamental and advanced techniques in molecular and cellular biology, combined with extensive research experience. In short, this MRes course will give you a ‘flying start’ to a subsequent PhD programme or a career in industry-based research and development.
Course highlights
This MRes programme gives considerable freedom with two taught modules and a research project extending over approximately 9 months. Within the space of 1 year, it replicates many features of a PhD programme, including very substantial time in the laboratory, designing experiments and writing a research dissertation, and including a viva session with the thesis examiners.
This course is for you if you are attracted by, but not yet ready to commit to a 3- or 4-year PhD. Even if you ultimately decide against pursuing a PhD, you will still acquire valuable laboratory experience and specialist technical skills, that are useful in a wide range of alternative professional settings.
Programme highlights
- A research-based post-graduate degree that replicates features of a PhD programme on a 1-year time scale.
- Hands-on training in skills and techniques of state-of-the-art research in molecular and cellular biology.
- A 'flying start' to a subsequent PhD programme, if this is the chosen career path.
- An exit point after one year with a recognised qualification for those who decide that further research training is not for them.
