Applicants should hold a recognised medical qualification, such as a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB or equivalent, including MBBS or MBBCh). Medical students currently enrolled on a recognised medical degree, including those seeking to undertake the MRes as an intercalated programme, are also eligible to apply, subject to satisfactory academic progress. Applicants from non-medical clinical backgrounds, including registered nurses, physician associates and physiotherapists, particularly those with a subspecialist interest in or pursuing a career in neurosurgery, should hold at least an upper second-class Bachelor of Science degree (BSc or equivalent) from an accredited UK university in an appropriate scientific discipline. Relevant disciplines may include nursing, neuroscience, cognitive science, biological or biomedical sciences, anatomy, physiology and psychology. Overseas qualifications of an equivalent standard will also be considered. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate both core knowledge relevant to the MRes programme and appropriate experience or skills in clinical research.
