Faculty of Biomedical & Life Sciences Masters of Research Courses in Biological Sciences |
The Faculty of Biomedical & Life Sciences has an
international reputation
for research in the
biological sciences.
Our research covers a
wide range of topics in
modern biology from
molecular and cellular
biology to population
ecology.
The international standing of the Faculty’s research was confrmed recently by the results of the RAE 2008 in which 90% of our publications were classifed as “of international quality” with 55% being graded as “internationally excellent” and “world- leading”. Whilst we are proud of this tradition and the reputation for excellence in research that has been established over many years, our aim is to build on the high standards of research and teaching within the Faculty. To ensure that we remain a centre of excellence in the biological sciences, there have been major investments during the past few years in new buildings, refurbishment of laboratories and in state of the art equipment. For example, the Sir Henry Wellcome Functional Genomics Facility was established to provide researchers with access to the latest equipment in the felds of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. In addition, the completion of the frst phase of the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment on the banks of Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest freshwater loch, has provided excellent facilities for research in freshwater and terrestrial ecology. With top class researchers working in excellent research facilities we can offer outstanding opportunities for students to gain research training at both Masters and PhD levels. The Faculty currently offers 10 MRes courses and others are planned. We also offer both 3 year and 4 year PhD programmes as well as a wide range of Skills Training courses. Masters of Research (MRes) courses
We also offer an MSc in Biotechnology. For further information on
