Here in the Faculty of Clinical & Biomedical Sciences, we offer a vibrant and world-class research environment, matched by the development and enhancement of excellent facilities, research support and award-winning training opportunities.
As well as taught courses, research opportunities also include MSc (by Research). Our case studies profile the different research pathways available through the Faculty and the University of Central Lancashire.
If you’re looking to undertake a research degree, UCLan’s research community is here to support you and to ensure you achieve your ambitions.
You should expect a research degree at UCLan to challenge you. Not only will you undertake an in-depth study in your chosen research topic and build on your existing knowledge of a subject, but you will also develop other transferable skills much sought after by employers. On completion of your research degree you should be in a very strong position for pursuing your chosen career.
Opportunities are available to undertake supervised research at doctoral and masters level. Research degree programmes are available on either a full or part-time basis with the exception of the Doctor of Medicine and the Master of Surgery, which can only be studied on a part-time basis. If you will be studying on a Tier 4 Visa then you will be required to study full-time.
Many research students define their own research project with guidance and support from an allocated supervisory team.
