New Master of Science by Research degrees in the School of Life Sciences
The School of Life Sciences at Kingston University is pleased to announce the availability of a number of full or part-time MSc by Research projects in the subject areas listed below.
The School is part of a dynamic Faculty with a keen research focus and much of the School's multidisciplinary research takes place within the Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Group (BPSRG). The BPSRG engages actively in interdisciplinary collaborative research, and has established excellent relationships with many national and international research groups and industrial partners.
The School has invested heavily in the development of its laboratories and equipment for bioscience teaching and research, and has access to a number of core specialist instrumentation laboratories. The duration of the MSc by Research is one calendar year full-time or two calendar years part-time. The tuition fees for the 2011-12 academic year are £3700 (pro rata for part time students) for UK or EU students and £11000 for other overseas students, plus a bench fee of £2000.
