Our Biomedical Sciences MRes provides an advanced understanding of different approaches to research and allows you to develop a critical appreciation of research processes, with extensive training in biomedical research methodology.

You will discover how to design and undertake a substantial research project, working closely with our researchers who are leading the development of novel biomedical products and pioneering new approaches to regenerative medicine, and the treatment of cancer, asthma, diabetes and other chronic diseases. You will also be attached to one or more of our research groups enabling you to work alongside postdoctoral and other postgraduate researchers with shared interests.
