Description

Course Overview

Explore multidisciplinary approaches to understanding the gut microbiome on this Master's course, a specialist stream of the MRes in Biomedical Research.

You'll receive research training in microbiome biology, nutrition, hepatology and microbial signalling, and analytical technologies.

Through laboratory-based research, you'll learn to exercise critical scientific thought to interpret results.

This stream will help you build familiarity with writing grant applications and improve your writing, presenting and communication skills when defining research reports.

You'll also consider the development of new targets for disease prevention and treatment, and apply your expertise across two research projects.

You have the option of choosing our general biomedical research stream, or one of eight specialisms. All of our biomedical research streams have the same course structure and each stream has its own tailored set of projects alongside a core programme of lectures, seminars and practical classes.

You should consider which stream is right for you according to your career aims and background. If an offer of admission is made, it will correspond to a specific stream. Switching streams is not possible once you have commenced your studies.
