Biosciences MRes

Whether it’s neuroscience, computational biology, stem cell biology or the origins of life, take the opportunity to hone a biosciences specialism of your choice with an MRes that mimics the life of a first-year PhD student. Launch your research career by undertaking a major project in any of the 10 subject streams offered within the UCL Division of Biosciences. You’ll choose from one of ten available research streams, covering the whole range of biosciences topics, from computational biology to integrative anatomy, and embed yourself within one of our world-leading research groups. You’ll be in the lab or working on your project at least four days a week under the supervision of an expert senior investigator. In addition to completing your year-long research project, you’ll develop your research independence and science communication skills through taught modules. You’ll also learn how to peer-review published papers on your specialist topic and communicate your research findings to a range of audiences. You’ll graduate from this course with all the skills and knowledge in place to progress to a PhD in your preferred area of biosciences. The Biosciences MRes is ideal for graduates who’ve identified a specific area of interest within the biosciences that they’d like to explore through postgraduate and doctoral research.

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences, life sciences, or related subject area, or a medical degree (MBBS), or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
