Overview
As a MRes student, you will spend around two thirds of your year on your research project and the rest of your time taking taught modules. Depending on your background knowledge, these will be a mix of core and optional subjects. You will be able to develop specific knowledge and skills through your selection of modules and choice of subject for your substantial research project.
The programme is taught by staff from across NOCS who draw on their topical cutting edge research to create a challenging and stimulating degree programme. You will also be encouraged to attend our research seminars, some delivered by leading visiting scientists.
Programme structure
Semester one modules generally run from October to January. Second semester modules are taught in a two to three week intensive format between February and May. The full-time programme lasts one year. The research component is undertaken throughout the whole year and normally finishes with the submission of your dissertation by the end of September.
The part-time programme lasts between two and five years. Students normally undertake the taught component over two years. The research component is undertaken throughout your period of study. You will have until the September of your fifth year in which to complete your research and submit your dissertation.
