Our Master's by Research programmes allow you to undertake extended laboratory-based research. Alongside direct learning of research methods by participation in the graduate training programme, our MSc By Research students each undertake a nine-month research project, working in well-equipped laboratories and supervised by specialists in their research area. This is followed by a three-month writing-up period to produce a Master's thesis.
