Year of entry: 2012

Degree awarded: Master of Research

Entry requirements:

Candidates are selected from the students admitted to the MBChB undergraduate course of The University of Manchester, including those from The University of St Andrews. The minimum criterion for admission is satisfactory achievement in years 1 to 3 / 4 of the undergraduate medical programme, with no failure at any examination in the past 2 academic years.

For University of St Andrews students, this includes their three-year degree programme and the following one or two years spent in Manchester (years 3 and 4 of the Manchester programme). We also accept home medical and dental graduates and international medical graduates who can demonstrate relevant experience and commitment to biomedical research.

Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2012, the tuition fees are as follows:

  • MRes (full-time)
    UK/EU students (per annum): £6,800
    International students (per annum): £17,800

The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive for the course tuition, administration and computational costs during your studies.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of courses lasting more than a year for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees . Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your qualification award and method of attendance.
