Projects
MRes students work on their research project throughout the year. You can apply for one of the projects listed below, or contact your preferred supervisor to discuss a different project.
You must name at least one potential supervisor in your personal statement when you apply.
Applications will be considered in three rounds; to ensure your preferred project is available, we encourage you to apply by the Round 1 deadline. If you are applying in a later round, some projects may have already been allocated so please consider including a second or third choice project in your application.
Visit our How do I apply? page for full details of the application process including deadlines.
