Molecular Cell Biology in Health and Disease MRes

A minimum of a 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in:

• a life science or related discipline
• or an MBBS/BDS degree

This programme accepts both medical and dental students wishing to take a master's degree as an intercalation. You will need to have successfully completed your third or fourth year of study.

Practical laboratory work experience is desirable, although not essential. The modules you can study may depend on your academic background.

The Molecular Cell Biology in Health and Disease MRes is for graduates with a BSc in the life sciences or other science disciplines. We also consider intercalating and qualified MBBS or BDS students. You can take this as a stand-alone qualification or as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.

You have the flexibility to develop your own course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then work on a 24-week research project. This will be in the areas of cell signalling, chromosome biology, or the cell cycle.

The course allows you to work in a competitive research area. You'll work in academia for most of the course. There is also the chance to gain some industry experience.

Our teaching is centred around research. Course content changes to reflect developments in the discipline. This also reflects the requirements of external bodies, partners and student feedback.

You'll study subject-specific content in cell signalling in health and disease research. There will also be a broad range of complementary options to add to these.

Your 24-week research project comprises the major element of the course. You'll work under the supervision of an expert academic researcher in the field.
