Learn computational genomics and data-science methods, then use them in a research project. Although the qualification is an MRes, Cambridge classifies this course as taught. Progression to a PhD is not automatic.
Build research skills in sensor design, sensing networks and data analysis, with applications in healthcare and sustainability. This standalone MRes combines science and engineering; progression to a PhD requires a separate application.
Explore photonic and electronic systems through taught modules and two individual research mini-projects. One project takes place at UCL. The programme balances teaching and research; check travel arrangements and costs before applying.
Develop an independent thesis on literature, culture or film within the department’s research areas. This route is designed for applicants who already know their intended research field and have experience of sustained independent writing.
Pursue a thesis in linguistics or language sciences, supported by research-methods training. The department’s work includes computational approaches, behavioural experiments and speech research. Applicants should discuss their topic with a potential supervisor before applying.
Undertake a research thesis in Middle Eastern studies. The route combines a defined research topic with the language knowledge needed to work with relevant material, offering preparation for further independent scholarship.
Develop a research project with a psychiatry group whose work aligns with your interests. The project is shaped during application discussions, with training in conducting and communicating research in the department’s scientific environment.
Develop an independent research project in English language or literature within a structured Master’s programme. The route can support doctoral preparation or a sustained project connected to professional interests.
Undertake a supervised biomedical research project. The MSc research route lasts one year full-time or two part-time.
Develop an independent materials research project over one full-time year or two part-time years.
