MRes Investigation of Death

University of Greater Manchester

The University of Greater Manchester’s MRes Investigation of Death is a unique, research-intensive programme focused on the interdisciplinary study of how deaths are investigated, understood, recorded, reviewed and learned from.

The programme is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge required to conduct advanced research into death investigation across coronial, legal, medical, forensic, policing, regulatory, public-health and policy contexts. It examines death investigation as a multi-agency public function, bringing together law, medicine, forensic practice, policing, public administration, ethics, policy and research.
