‘ I found the MRes in itself to be a unique course. It’ s a much less common course than the typical MA, and allows a freedom of subject area and a far greater focus on independent research relative to other qualifications at this level, which in turn set me in good stead for my PhD.’
Hannah Coombs, PhD in Literary Studies
