(MRes) Applied Sciences
Join our world-class research community in applied sciences and develop specialist knowledge and research experience in your area of interest. Conduct research in your workplace or on innovative collaborations with our organizational partners.
With the option to study full-time or while at work, this course enables you to deepen your knowledge in an area of interest alongside our world-class research community.
After developing a solid grounding in academic research practice, you will graduate in an MRes in Applied Sciences with one of the following specialties:
- Biological Science
- Biomedical Science
- Bio-Sensing Technology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Physiology
- Science Communication
- Forensic Science
- Conservation and Environment Forensic Sciences.
Although there is plenty of autonomy, you will be supported throughout by a supervisor. And once you have decided on your research project, you will be able to conduct research in your workplace or in our state-of-the-art science laboratories, which have recently had a £3.2 million investment.
Careers
On graduation, you will have advanced skills in design data, collection and analysis, and a strong understanding and evidence base in your area of interest. You can also use credits from this qualification towards a PhD, so you can continue to deepen your knowledge and research experience.
Entry requirements
An applicant will be expected to have a minimum of a 2:1 in a relevant first degree or equivalent.
We welcome applications from students without the conventional entrance requirements but who can demonstrate appropriate evidence of research and professional experience.
When you start this course you will be conducting your extended research project within the Department of Applied Sciences. Please download the research projects/topics for the MRes in Applied Sciences list and select your preferred project. The list identifies projects/topics that will be supported in the various research groups within the department.
You should build your application around your selected project and if we are able to invite you in for interview, we will organize this with the most appropriate supervisor.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
