MSc(Res) Earth and Environmental Sciences - The MSc(Res) (Master of Science by Research) is a one year research based masters degree. Students will engage in a full time research project and write a dissertation. This is an excellent opportunity to spend a shorter time in a research environment either for a standalone degree or as preparation for a PhD.
Research within the School is grouped into four main themes and it is strongly recommended that you contact the named supervisor on our advertised funded projects or one of our academics if you wish to discuss an alternative project.
Postgraduate candidates will be expected to obtain a good first degree with Honours (at least 2.1) from a recognised UK university or overseas equivalent.
