MRes Biosciences

You can conduct your research project in either the Department of Life Sciences or the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences, both of which have been judged world leading in areas such as zoology, grassland science, biochemistry, animal science, marine biology, microbiology, plant biology and ecology. We have excellent research facilities including aquariums (marine, freshwater, tropical), a bioinformatics hub, ion-torrent sequencers, and extensive glass house facilities. We operate several farms and own significant tracts of natural woodland, while our coastal location close to several nature reserves and national parks offers unique opportunities for a broad range of bioscience research. You'll have the opportunity to work within research teams with your supervisor, research staff and other postgraduate students. This course is suitable for students who are not yet ready or do not wish to begin a PhD, but who would like to develop their research skills. It is also suitable for students who would like to combine research with taught elements of a postgraduate course.
