MSc Cardiovascular Health and Disease (Research)

Research project 2 is a major part of MSc/MRes programmes. The duration of the research project is 25 weeks research work with 3-4 weeks of additional writing-up time. This is a full time project and students are expected to spend 5 full days per week working on it, with the exception of attendance at other timetabled taught sessions which may still be running. The research project may involve laboratory, clinical or computational research, or a combination of these approaches.

With the exception of students on the BHF MRes programme who complete RP1 at the end of semester 2, before proceeding with their PhD projects, all other students must pass RP1 (mark of 50% or greater) to proceed to Research Project 2 (MEDN66132).
