At the School of Health, we're working on a diverse range of projects that affect the health and wellbeing of people all over the world. You'll be part of a community of many different backgrounds, ages and interests. You'll be able to do your work in exceptional facilities, with the support of experienced supervisors. And you'll be in a city that's full of health organisations, industry partners and policymakers.You'll have everything that you need to exceed your expectations, and make lives better. The MRes is a stepping stone between undergraduate and PhD-level research, and is a good starting point for someone looking to explore a new subject area, or different academic research options. If you choose to complete a PhD programme, you'll spend your time researching a topic that contributes new knowledge to your field. You'll be trained in research skills which will be valuable in many different careers. You'll be assessed with an oral exam called a "viva voce", and you'll be asked to present your research in a thesis of up to 100,000 words.
