Applying for a Masters by Research

 

The Masters by Research (MRes) is an advanced postgraduate degree which can either be taken as a stand-alone qualification or as a progression route into doctoral research.

It differs from a taught MA or MSc course by placing particular emphasis on a large research thesis and fewer taught modules.
