MRes Science et Santé

Have you enjoyed undertaking research during your degree? Do you think about a doctoral (PhD) study or a career in a STEM business, industry or academia? If so, our postgraduate Master's in Research (MRes) course will be a great start for you.

It aims to provide two key ingredients for early-career researchers – transferable research skills and expertise in your chosen subject. You'll undertake an original project with experienced supervisors and join the day-to-day life of a research group.
