Course Overview

Our scientists in the School of Applied Sciences work in multidisciplinary teams to target major societal challenges in the areas of human health, well-being, performance, and behavior. We apply theory in these areas to contemporary real-world issues by undertaking innovative and rigorous science.

We focus on globally regarded, theoretical, and applied research with ‘real world’ impact. Our teaching is fully informed by contemporary research, and our excellence is reinforced by outstanding research facilities that enable both staff and students to undertake cutting-edge studies with the most up-to-date equipment and facilities.

A member of staff, an expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research program. As a research student, you'll become part of our thriving academic community.

A MRes, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team. When applying for an MRes, applicants need to submit a research proposal outlining the purpose of the study and its impact.
