Master of Research (MRes)
35.2 The MRes is a classified taught postgraduate degree. Its main aim is to provide a structured research training programme which can act as a foundation for doctoral study or for a research career outside academia. It may also be used to provide an exit award from a doctoral programme which includes a taught component.
35.3 An MRes will comprise 180 credit points, and include a research component of between 60 and 120 credit points at level 7.
35.4 All MRes programmes will provide an exit award of a Postgraduate Certificate (with the attainment of 60 credit points). If the structure of the taught component permits, MRes programmes will also provide an exit award of a Postgraduate Diploma (with the attainment of 120 credit points).
