Master of Research (MRes)

Our Master of Research (MRes) programmes provide comprehensive training in mathematics and areas appropriate to professional development and research foundations. To be accepted onto this programme a high standard in a mathematically-based undergraduate degree must have been achieved, equivalent to a UK upper-second or first class degree.

The MRes is an ideal preparation for entry into the PhD programme at Birmingham. In fact, the MRes programme can be used as the first phase of our ‘Fast-track’ PhD programme. This is appropriate for well-qualified students who do not have all the necessary background to start immediately on a PhD in their area of choice. In this programme the MRes thesis is extended over a further period of two years into a PhD thesis.
