Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering MRes

The MRes in Medical Physics and Bioengineering is a research-focused Masters degree, covering various aspects of physics and engineering in medicine. The programme is highly adaptable to fit the subject that the student wants to focus on within the fields of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. The programme involves a wide range of modules offered by the department, as well as a research project.

Applicants will be considering what course is best suited to their career progression. The main difference between the MRes and the MSc programme is that the MRes is heavily focused on research, with the MRes Research Project module weighted double that of the MSc Research Project. In addition, the MRes has half the number of taught modules compared to the MSc. The MRes is targeted to those students who wish to pursue research careers, and for those who want to delve deep into a particular research question, the MRes is the better option.
