Study Details: MRes 1 year full-time, 3 years part-time
Our Bioscience Department MRes programme gives you expert research training embedded in our world-class research groups. The first term is all about advanced skills training at postgraduate level with guidance for research project selection and refinement. Students start their 9 month research project phase at the end of January.
The formal teaching structure during the 1st semester ensures that students improve their skills in writing, analytical approaches and critical thinking to postgraduate level. Students also select two additional modules in line with research interests (e.g., GIS, biodiversity and health ecology, endangered species, biodiversity assessment). After module assessments, students are then ready to conduct an independent research project that is guided by a supervisory team in the department. We expect students to produce a research thesis that is of publication standard and many MRes projects are published after award of MRes.
Students do not need to have a pre-defined project to apply to the MRes course and we provide a list of potential projects to select during the first term. It is possible to switch from one programme to another during the first term because each of the four MRes courses in the Bioscience Department follows the same module pathway. The programme title reflects the nature of the research project: students can change the MRes Biosciences Department programme of study at any time during the first term once they have confirmed selection of a project.
Research theme overview:
From molecular through to macroevolutionary scales we interrogate the basis of behavioural and morphological adaptations. We focus on understanding animal sociality, movement ecology and the evolutionary drivers and mechanisms of behaviour.
MRes research projects can be selected from any of these research groups:
MRES: Applicants for the MRes Behavioural Ecology and Evolution must normally hold an undergraduate degree at first or upper second class honours degree level in Bioscience or a related subject (or Non-UK equivalent as defined by Swansea University).
