The MRes Medical Sciences at the University of Central Lancashire is designed for aspiring researchers, clinicians, and intercalating medical students seeking to advance their careers in critical areas of medicine and bioscience. This postgraduate degree equips you with high-quality, transferable skills and specialised training in the scientific method, essential for tackling complex health challenges such as emergent pathogens, chronic illnesses, and mental health disorders. You will become an integral part of a leading research group, working alongside internationally recognised academics and clinicians to drive innovation in medical sciences, healthcare systems, and the biotechnology industry.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, your MRes Medical Sciences experience involves conducting an original research project within a supportive, interdisciplinary environment. You will be guided by a dedicated supervisory team, exploring a chosen topic that aligns with global health priorities, from bioinformatics and big data analysis to cellular technologies and medical imaging. This hands-on approach, grounded in real-world research settings, ensures you develop the independence and expertise needed for a successful career. You will graduate prepared for further doctoral study or for impactful roles in medical research, the NHS, or the biotechnology sector.
