Medicine MRes Research Projects
What’s available at Leeds?
Medical research plays an enormous role in improving patient care and outcomes. Through our course, you’ll develop your specialist skills and knowledge while also gaining the experience to feel equipped for a career in the field.
At Leeds, our MRes Medicine is an exciting and challenging course designed for those who want to advance their research skills and be immersed in a research project.
Your nine-month project will help you to develop specialised knowledge, as well as design and undertake a substantial piece of publishable research. While studying with us, you’ll be based in one of our internationally-renowned institutes and be supervised by leading experts in their field. To help you specialise based on your interests, you can choose from a range of research opportunities from applied health, cancer and pathology, cardiovascular, genes and development, medical education and musculoskeletal topics. What’s more, it can be possible for our students to self-design a project if there is a University of Leeds researcher that they are particularly keen to collaborate with while at Leeds.
Here’s a view of the projects currently available at Leeds. Please note that this page will continue to be updated while more projects become available.
