Explore molecular cell biology in health and disease with our MRes.

The Molecular Cell Biology in Health and Disease MRes is for graduates with a BSc in the life sciences or other science disciplines. We also consider intercalating and qualified MBBS or BDS students. You can take this as a stand-alone qualification or as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.

You have the flexibility to develop your own course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then work on a 24-week research project. This will be in the areas of cell signalling, chromosome biology, or the cell cycle.

The course allows you to work in a competitive research area. You'll work in academia for most of the course. There is also the chance to gain some industry experience.

Our teaching is centred around research. Course content changes to reflect developments in the discipline. This also reflects the requirements of external bodies, partners and student feedback.
