Overseas students are only accepted with an honours degree or equivalent in a biomedical subject from an established university.

Externally funded students from other UK medical schools who may transfer to Manchester for one year to undertake the MRes programme: Such students will be individually assessed on their previous academic performance to ensure that they have the necessary aptitude for research i.e. from past examination performance and references from project supervisors, tutors and mentors.

• MRes (full-time)

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).
