An MRes can give you a competitive edge in the researcher job market and can also be a valuable stepping-stone towards a PhD. In this course you’ll gain advanced research skills, develop your own research project and earn an internationally recognised research qualification. You can study for the MRes full or part time.
While this course is delivered entirely online, some of the optional electives are available on-campus for those students based in the UK. International students will only be able to select from online electives as we are unable to sponsor students on a Student visa for this course.
Why QMU?
Flexible study mode: This MRes is delivered completely online with a mixture of asynchronous and synchronous delivery. For those based in the UK and not requiring a Student visa to study here, you may be able to select an on campus elective module.
Supportive staff who are experts in their field: You will enjoy close support throughout your studies from our academic team and will be mentored by a specific supervisor who is expert in your area.
Graduate success: Our MRes students have successfully applied their enhanced research skills in a variety of fields, including academia, business, and government. You could also use the MRes as a step towards your PhD.
Tailor your studies: You can choose to specify the subject of your study in the title of degree. This ‘post-nominal’ award can be very useful when showing academic and professional organisations at a glance where your research expertise lies.
Students need to have a first class or upper second class honours degree in a relevant subject that includes a preliminary training in research methods, or equivalent. Extensive relevant experience in the subject you wish to research may be considered in lieu of a first class or upper second class honours degree.
