AN MR ES DEGREE
MRes is the perfect preparation for a future in academia
or a research-focused profession.
Joining an active research community, you’ll develop
vital skills by training in research methodology. Then
you’ll put those skills into action by completing a
research project.
Your project will be tailored to your interests. You
choose the subject and work alongside experts in the
subject to explore your original take on what fascinates
you.
What can you research? The potential options are broad
and deep.

on to the course.’
