About the course

Overview

This MRes allows you to explore cardiovascular biology.

The Applied Cardiovascular Biology: Molecules to Medicine MRes (previously known as Cardiovascular Science in Health and Disease MRes) is for graduates with a BSc in the life sciences or other science disciplines. It is also open to intercalating and qualified MBBS or BDS students. You can take this as a stand-alone qualification or as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.

You'll develop your own bespoke course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then begin a 24-week research project in cardiovascular science in health and disease research.
