Pharmaceutical Research MRes

The programme provides you with a flexible opportunity for high-level research-based training (you will join a research group) and acquire a range of academic skills including research methods, data analysis and writing research reports that will prepare you for PhD-level study or a career in healthcare research, biotech, pharmaceutical industry or with a government or regulatory body.

The MRes is a full-time postgraduate programme, which has a significantly large research component. You will spend at least ten months of the year conducting an in-depth and novel research project, at the forefront of research in the area of medication safety and pharmaceutical sciences in a department or laboratory of your choice within UCL School of Pharmacy. You will be expected to complement this research with the study of Masters-level taught modules in the subject areas related to the research. You will also attend training courses that develop your research skills. Consequently, you will acquire greater in-depth knowledge in a particular field of research and become a proficient research scientist with a range of technical and academic skills.
