Maternal and Fetal Health MRes

Degree awarded: Master of Research

Duration: 1 year full time

Entry requirements: The course is open to medical or science graduates and intercalating medical students. Normally a BSc (1st or 2:1) or MBChB or equivalent is expected from a British university in an appropriate biological or medical subject.

Overseas students require a high class honours degree or equivalent in a biomedical subject from a high-ranking university.

For MBChB students, the minimum criterion for admission is satisfactory achievement in years 1-4 of the undergraduate medical programme with no failure at any examination, and research motivation. Applicants with other professional (including midwifery), or research-related, experience will be considered.

Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2013, the tuition fees are as follows:

• MRes (full-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): £8,700
  International students (per annum): £18,100

The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive for the course tuition, administration and computational costs during your studies.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of courses lasting more than a year for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry).

Scholarships/sponsorships: Bursaries may be available for MBChB (Medicine) students.
