Master of Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the UK, the Master of Research degree is a postgraduate degree available in a range of academic disciplines. The MRes (Masters in Research) is designed to prepare students for doctoral research [1] MRes can also stand for Masters by Research.
Many MRes courses are advanced postgraduate degrees which differs from a taught Masters degree by placing particular emphasis on a large dissertation (typically between 35-40,000 words) in addition to fewer taught modules (in this usage, the MRes is equivalent to an MPhil from other universities).
MRes courses in the UK must guarantee that at least 60% of the content is project based as it is "geared to those wishing to pursue a research career afterwards." [2]
