The Master by Research (MRes) is a one-year postgraduate program focused on research, offered by the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics and Faculty of Life Sciences. This program prepares students for professional scientific careers or PhD studies by emphasizing hands-on laboratory research skills. Through a six-month research project, participants gain practical experience while conducting innovative research with tangible real-world applications. The program follows a research-driven learning model, where classrooms and labs serve as hubs for generating and applying new knowledge. Its curriculum employs a 'spiral learning' approach, progressively building and reinforcing core skills, knowledge, and competencies throughout the course. Assessment methods align with both the spiral curriculum and research-focused learning principles, while also evaluating the professional and disciplinary abilities essential for success in scientific and academic careers.
