Medical Sciences MRes

Degree awarded: Master of Research

Duration: 12 months

Entry requirements:

Candidates are selected from the students admitted to the MBChB undergraduate course of The University of Manchester. The minimum criterion for admission is satisfactory achievement in years 1 to 3 / 4 of the undergraduate medical programme.

For University of St Andrews students, this includes their three-year degree programme and the following one or two years spent in Manchester (years 3 and 4 of the Manchester programme).

We also accept intercalating medical students from other UK Universities including home medical and dental graduates and international medical graduates who can demonstrate relevant experience and commitment to biomedical research.

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). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees. Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your qualification award and method of attendance.

How to apply:

Note: The deadline for external applications for September 2013 entry is the end of February 2013.

Manchester Medical students intending to intercalate also need initial approval to do so from their Hospital Dean and must satisfy the Medical School's separate regulations for intercalation. Candidates will then be interviewed by the MRes panel. The online application should only be made if the interview process is successful.

Please note the Programme is currently undergoing a review, which includes some changes to course content and module structure. This will mean there will be some changes to content and delivery of the Programme for the September 2012 cohort. These changes are being implemented in order to continually improve the course.
