MPhil in Biological Science MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

It is an aim to develop in the students the skills required to submit a satisfactory MPhil thesis at the end of their chosen duration (one year full-time or two years part-time). To achieve this, a student will have acquired the essential skills required to design and conduct experiments (including applying for ethics approval where necessary), to analyse results, and to communicate these both in writing and orally. These skills will include those that can be transferred successfully to their choice of academic or other career. An MPhil at the CBU is achieved by supervised research and is under the jurisdiction of the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Biology.
