This MRes degree is aimed to equip graduates wishing to pursue a career in environmental biology with the high degree of quantitative and molecular skills required by employers
The programme is modular, and consists of 180 credits (European Community Course Credit Transfer system).
In Block 1 students study Basic Concepts in Ecology and Evolution and then choose a further three advanced knowledge modules from a selection of six. In Block 2 is the Research Toolbox, all students take a series of modules in core research skills. In Block 3, students will apply these tools in a substantial research project over a period of five months.
Continuous assessment (40%) and examination (60%).
We have NERC funding for four studentships each year.
You should have, or expect to have a 2.1 honours degree or above in a relevant discipline (Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Cellular and Molecular aspects of Biology).
If your first language is not English, then you need to demonstrate that you have a good command of the English language.
