Master of Science in Medical Sciences

The Masters of Science in Medical Sciences is an advanced postgraduate research masters degree taken over 12-months (full-time) or 24 months (part-time). The degree is designed to prepare students for PhD study or for careers where advanced-level research skills are required. The focus of a research masters is the research project and research skills training. Students undertake an independent research project and submit a research thesis for oral examination. Research masters' students have access to the same training opportunities as PhD students and are an integral part of the research community of the School and the University Postgraduate Research School.

This is normally at least an upper second-class BSc degree (2.1) or equivalent in a relevant discipline.
