The programme will combine laboratory research with supportive and integrative taught content tailored to equip the student to effectively interpret and communicate scientific findings.

Programme Structure

In preparation for the Research Project (120 credits), students will follow the Research Skills module (which includes writing a literature review, attending research seminars, etc.), and can choose between two intense practical modules, Laboratory Molecular Research or Molecular Diagnostics.

The main emphasis of the degree is on the Research Project. This is worth 120 credits, significantly more than in a typical taught Masters degree. The project will be performed under direct supervision of a research group leader in one of the well-equipped laboratories of the School of Medical Sciences and the North West Cancer Research Institute.

The taught element of this MRes course is assessed through a combination of course work and final exams. The research project is assessed by a written report, oral presentation and the lab book.
