Overview

Students of the Clinical Drug Development programme offered at the University College London (UCL) will be exposed to leading research scientists, biotechnologists and pharmaceutical companies. Students will be taught research methodology, including the translation of basic science research into novel therapies for human disease, and the philosophy, governance and social implications of health research.

How does the MRes differ from the MSc?

The Master of Research (MRes) programme, while containing some taught elements, focuses more on research skills. It will provide an excellent introduction to research methods and will provide a good preparation for post-doctoral study. MRes students will complete a 105 credit research project, while the MSc students will complete a 60 credit research project.
