MRes, PGCert Applied Health Research

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

For many graduates, our MRes has been a gateway to a research-based career or a means of advancing their career in health or social care using the transferable skills they have obtained. Others have found that the MRes is an excellent foundation for doctoral research and an academic career.

International students who study at the University of Leicester may be eligible for a Graduate Visa, which grants permission to stay in the UK for at least two years after completing their course.

Our Career Development Service is here to support you with advice on interviews, CVs, work experience, volunteering, and more. From Freshers’ Week to Graduation and beyond, they are here to help you reach your professional goals.

You will be based within the Department of Population Health Sciences, which has an international reputation for innovative research in public health, biostatistics, epidemiology, and healthcare improvement. You will learn from researchers actively tackling current health challenges and contributing to health policy and clinical practice changes.

Our course combines research principles and practical examples of how novel research can be applied in natural-life healthcare settings. Our ongoing portfolio of study means that the curriculum and all your course materials will be relevant and based on the latest insights and understanding of current healthcare challenges.

You will receive a comprehensive grounding in research methods while developing vital transferable skills in research practice, critical appraisal, academic writing, project management, communication and presentation of research, research management, policy, governance, and ethics.

We offer different options for your study: the Masters in Research (MRes) can be taken full-time over one year or part-time over two years. You also have the opportunity for a Postgraduate Certificate, which includes the modules but not the dissertation, available part-time for over one year.

General Eligibility
