Course overview

Studying for an MSc by Research can be an excellent opportunity to develop your intellectual and research skills and your academic interest in a particular field. The MSc by Research is a 12-month research project (24 months part-time). It is distinct from our taught Masters programmes which involve taught courses that are formally assessed with part of the year spent on a research project.

With support from your supervisors, you'll work full time on planning, implementing and writing up a research project for your MSc by research. You will be supervised by at least two members of academic staff and will be encouraged to submit your work for publication where appropriate.
