MSc by thesis

The HYMS MSc by thesis is a one-year research programme (or two years part-time). The programme is ideal if you want to get involved in postgraduate research without immediately committing to a lonhger project such as an MPhil or PhD.

About the MSc by thesis programme

To successfully complete your MSc, you will conduct an independent research project. You can work in a wide range of areas -- our current students are researching topics as diverse as interstitial
lung disease, cystic fibrosis, care of the newborn infant, and the development of new methods for analysing cell-to-cell interactions in tissue using a micro-fluidic based approach.

Whatever you choose, your project should be in an academic area that's covered by one of our academic centres.

As an MSc student at HYMS, you will also take part in our postgraduate training scheme, which provides you with extra opportunities to develop both specialist and transferable skills.
