Course summary

  • Become trained in research methods and complete a high level research project
  • Study for a higher degree by research in our well-respected Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre.
  • Undertake research in disease mechanisms, bioanalytical chemistry (incorporating the Centre for Mass Spectrometry Imaging), molecular microbiology, or chemistry and biomaterials.

A higher degree by research involves training in research methods and a laboratory based high level scientific investigation. The nature of the work and the time it takes to finish the research means a research degree is demanding and needs great commitment.

How you learn

Your research takes place with the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre (BMRC). The BMRC has been established for over 15 years. We have over 40 postgraduate students enrolled on MPhil/PhD programmes, as well as a number of postdoctoral research assistants. This provides an active and stimulating research environment.

Future careers

Research degrees are a vital qualification for most academic careers, and for professional specialisation and development in an existing or planned career.
