Master of Science in Biology (by research)

Program Overview

Biological research has a critical role to play in securing a sustainable future. Our interdisciplinary research contributes to solutions for three major global challenges - health and disease, sustainable food and fuel, and environmental change. 

Every step of our research is carried out with the help of our postgraduate students. No matter which area of biology you specialise in, you will be working alongside some of the world’s biggest names in their respective fields, at the forefront of scientific exploration. 

Our MSc by research is the shortest of our research degrees. Consequently, your thesis will be narrower in scope than an MPhil or PhD thesis, although it should still contain some original work. Your thesis can be up to 30,000 words long and will be judged by two examiners, but you are not normally required to attend an oral examination.
