The MRes in Immunobiology is one of a suite of MRes programmes. The programme provides a springboard into a career that involves a working knowledge of scientific research in academia and industry. It is designed for graduates with a BSc in the life sciences and is also suitable for graduates from other science disciplines and for intercalating and fully qualified MBBS or BDS students. The MRes can be taken either as a stand-alone qualification or act as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.
The MRes is a research-based qualification with a taught component that is of an equivalent standard to an MSc.
