Everything you need to know about a Master of Research (M.Res.) course in Spain

Studying Master of Research (M.Res.)

The Master of Research (M.Res. degree) is an advanced postgraduate research degree mainly popular in the UK. M.Res. degrees can be awarded in any academic discipline, which is reflected in the full degree name (e.g. Master of Arts by Research).

Master of Research degrees are relatively new, but getting increasingly popular. In contrast to other Master's programmes, such as the Master of Science or Master of Arts, the Master of Research is especially focused on training students for professional work or doctoral research. It takes one year to graduate a Master of Research in the UK, and usually two at other universities and colleges around the world.

The M.Res. degree structure involves a large dissertation based on independent research or a practice-led research project. The Master of Research is similar to a Master of Philosophy, but unlike the M.Phil. degree, which is entirely research-focused, the M.Res. degree also includes taught classes on research techniques and scientific principles.
