Master of Research in Bioscience - Infectious disease (MRes)
Program Overview
Engage in a major bioscience research project through our Bioscience MRes programme, designed to provide you with essential subject knowledge, versatile research skills, and the dedicated time and hands-on experience in state-of-the-art laboratories to prepare you for a career in research or industry. Specialise in one of four core research themes; glycobiology, infectious disease, neuroscience, or structural biology.
Course summary
Bioscience research plays a vital role in advancing the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment; from uncovering the three-dimensional structures of proteins to addressing global pandemics. Our Bioscience MRes provides the opportunity to immerse yourself in a research environment, whether as a standalone degree, preparation for PhD study, or to pursue diverse career paths.
Your project can be undertaken at an external institution, nationally or internationally, to increase your experience of working in a laboratory related to your area of research. This is dependent on the type of project and the research links of the lead project supervisor. We encourage you to explore the above pages and reach out to potential supervisors whose work you find interesting and who you may consider working with on your project.
Taught modules in semester one will establish the key skills and knowledge you will need to complete your independent research. Topics include critical literature searching, advanced research techniques, grant writing and experimental design.
Your research project will advance your individual research skills, with support from expert academics who will deepen your understanding of various theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and practical applications in biosciences
You will formulate a research strategy, carry out thorough investigations, analyse and critically evaluate data in the context of current literature in your field. You’ll present this data in various scientific formats, including your dissertation, viva, poster, and presentations at our postgraduate student research conferences. Overall, the programme equips you with transferable skills in practical research, problem-solving, organisation, time management, collaboration, and scientific communication.
The project will culminate in your dissertation, where you’ll demonstrate your ability to identify problems, formulate hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, extract, analyse, and interpret data, critically evaluate findings, relate them to current literature, and present complex research in scientific writing.
