The MRes in Agriculture at Aberystwyth University is a Masters programme with a greater focus on research than taught elements. This course is a distance learning course.
The MRes in Agriculture requires you to successfully complete any two modules from the MSc Sustainable and Efficient Food Production and the Research Methods module. You will then work with designated supervisors on a 120 credit work-based dissertation (approximately 20,000 words in length).
This programme aims to facilitate knowledge exchange between academia and industry. While the primary academic focus is on the completion of an advanced piece of research, the collaborative route provided by a work-based research project provides an ideal opportunity to embed new knowledge in the workplace and ensure that research is relevant to industry. As such, it is crucial that a student’s employer is supportive of both their research aims and the time commitment that the proposed research will involve. Self-employed students should aim to undertake research which will be closely aligned to their business.
