Master of Research - Biological Sciences

The Biological Sciences MRes program offered by the university allows students to collaborate with a team dedicated to addressing global issues like infectious disease and environmental health. Students have the opportunity to delve into topics such as genetic and molecular biology under the guidance of experienced researchers in the field.

Participants will be integrated into one or more research groups specializing in biomaterials, biomedical devices, zoonoses, and applied biosciences. They will work alongside fellow postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers who share similar interests.

Throughout the program, students will conduct research on a specialized subject within the realms of biomaterials, biomedical devices, microbiology, biochemistry, ecotoxicology, and genetics. Optional modules provide the flexibility to explore additional areas based on individual interests and career goals.

Students will gain hands-on experience using state-of-the-art facilities, including an image analysis suite equipped with electron microscopes, a confocal microscope, and atomic force microscopes. Furthermore, purpose-built labs for ecology, microbiology, molecular biology, and tissue culture will be utilized for practical training.
