Overview

The MRes Biosciences program at Aberystwyth University serves as an ideal stepping stone for those considering a PhD or company-based research, providing an opportunity for students to explore their interest in the biosciences in depth while demonstrating a commitment to a research-focused career. The course is flexible, allowing students to explore and specialize in an area of biology that fascinates them with the personalized support of a supervisor. The breadth of research and expertise in the life sciences at Aberystwyth enables students to undertake research in various areas of specialization, including zoology, plant breeding, microbiology, bioinformatics, animal or equine science, marine biology, and ecology. Students can conduct their research projects in either the Department of Life Sciences or the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences, both of which have been recognized as world-leading in areas such as zoology, grassland science, biochemistry, animal science, marine biology, microbiology, plant biology, and ecology. The institutions boast excellent research facilities, including aquariums (marine, freshwater, and tropical), a bioinformatics hub, ion-torrent sequencers, and extensive glasshouse facilities. They operate several farms and own significant tracts of natural woodland, while their coastal location near various nature reserves and national parks offers unique opportunities for a wide range of bioscience research. Students will have the opportunity to work within research teams alongside their supervisors, research staff, and other postgraduate students. This course is suitable for those who are not yet ready or do not wish to begin a PhD but would like to develop their research skills. It is also appropriate for students who wish to combine research with the taught elements of a postgraduate course.
