Postgraduate research
Students on our MRes programme gain in-depth research experience through a year-long research project. Selecting the right project is a key decision and we do this during admission to the programme. In addition, four taught modules in biological sciences and personal development deepen scientific knowledge and skills.
Advanced Biological Sciences MRes
Biomedical Sciences and Translational Medicine MRes
We also host a variety of PhD students from doctoral training programmes including MRC, BBSRC, and NERC. Charity funded PhD students including those from Breast Cancer Now, North West Cancer and British Heart Foundation are also hosted in our institute. We hold several international partnerships, including A*STAR, Mahidol and RIKEN, as well as industrial partnerships. We also welcome self-funded students.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
We routinely run CPD courses in bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and imaging. In addition, we also run a special CPD course that is open to the public - 'Cancer in Context'.
As a future academic and a researcher, being able to conduct research using the excellent facilities and modern technology at the University has been a superb experience.
