The MRes course combines a 12-month full-time (24-month part-time) research project with select taught modules to enhance each student’s skill set.
The subject of your research project can be drawn from several areas in the field of biochemistry and biosciences including bioanalysis, bioinformatics, proteomics, cancer biology, cell signalling, gene expression, trafficking, molecular genetics, neurobiology, RNA, translational control, or synthetic biology.
We place a strong focus on the development of your presentation and writing skills since these are necessary for a successful research career. Our emphasis includes research proposal writing; general and transferable skills in laboratory techniques and safety; research ethics and integrity; information literacy; and science communication skills.
The MRes in Biochemistry and Biosciences comprises an orientation and induction week; four modules (two core modules and two electives); attendance at seminars; and a research project and dissertation.
