Apply online via the MRes Bioengineering page of the postgraduate prospectus.

You must name at least one potential supervisor in your personal statement when you apply.

Before applying, visit our projects page to see what research projects are available.  If none of the listed projects is suitable for you, you can contact your preferred supervisor informally to discuss whether they can offer you a different project; it is helpful to include an up-to-date CV. Visit our research pages and list of staff and their research areas if you are not sure who to contact.

What are the entry requirements?

Broadly, we require a degree in engineering, physical or life science at a level equivalent to a UK First Class or Upper Second Class Honours degree. This is generally higher than the college Postgraduate minimum academic requirements. For life sciences graduates we also require a reasonable standard of mathematical ability.

If you would like to know whether your qualifications meet our minimum requirements please email be.pgadmissions@imperial.ac.uk stating your degree subject, the institution your graduated from and your final achieved or expected grade. You may also find the general information on degree equivalence helpful.

Applicants should note that meeting the minimum academic requirement does not guarantee you will be made an offer of admission.
