Course Overview

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.

An 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. The teaching and learning style at the MRes level takes the form of 1:1 supervision, e-learning, and workshops.

General Eligibility

Applicants for a Research Degree program at LSBU are usually expected to have a good honors degree (2:2 and above) and a relevant postgraduate qualification, preferably a merit at the Master's level. Please also supply two academic references as part of your application. You will also be required to show proof of all of your qualifications.

You will be invited to an interview with your potential supervisor, in person or by telephone, before an offer is made.
