Master of Research - Medical Science

Program Description

Biomedical and medical research ultimately leads to the treatments of tomorrow. This course provides ideal training for students who wish to move onto a PhD course, or who simply wish to undertake a significant research project. The focus of this MRes is on a biomedical/medical research project in students' chosen discipline.

Students will take two taught modules before moving to the research component. Students will be able to choose their main discipline before joining the course, and this might include one from: cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, dementia, diabetes, gastroenterology, immunology, oncology, stem cell biology or psychological medicine. Students will also join a research team at Chester Medical School and the medical staff at one of Chester's partner hospital trusts.

The MRes provides excellent training for those who wish to continue to study towards the completion of a PhD at Chester and other universities.
