Current undergraduate students who wish to do further
academic studies could consider the following options:
MSc Pharmacology and related taught MSc degrees
This option is really applicable to students who have not
studied BSc Pharmacology as their first-degree subject or
wish to study a more specialised subject such as toxicology.
Typically these courses are one year in duration with a 6-month
taught element followed by a 6-month full time research project.
Information on MSc courses can be found on the Prospects
web site.
MRes (Masters in Research)
Typically MRes courses are of 1 year in duration and consist
of formal training in skills plus one to three research projects,
with more than one project in different areas to give you
a variety of research experience.
PhD The standard PhD is 3 years in duration and consists
of a full time single research project studied in depth. Information
on post-graduate courses can be found on web sites such as
findaphd.com
and www.jobs.ac.uk.
