The MRes Translational Biomedical Research includes a significant research component alongside a series of supporting taught modules to further enrich your learning. Teaching is through lectures, seminars, practical workshops, peer-to-peer learning, tutorials, and laboratory-based research projects.
You will undertake a year-long research project, which will amount to approximately 75% of the course. As part of the application process, you will be required to select two different projects either under the same research theme or two different themes. During an initial 6-week taster period, you will explore both projects and select one to continue as your main research project.
The course is aimed at students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree (minimum of an upper second-class degree or equivalent) in a relevant scientific (e.g. biology, biochemistry, biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, statistics) or medical discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. If you hold an international qualification, please consult the International Office webpages for information on UK equivalents.
