Science and Health MRes

York St John University

Designed with health, science or sport professionals in mind, this course will give you the training, skills and experience needed to pursue a research career in your chosen field. This course has been created to allow you to carry on working whilst completing the course.

This course will give you an in-depth understanding of research skills and process whilst also improving your understanding of, and ability to critique, contemporary research in a range of settings.

You will cover topics including:

• Importance of sound research design
• Navigating ethical approval processes
• Governance of research in a range of settings
• Engaging with the public, special populations and third sector organisations

You will be encouraged to collaborate with the University research community as you complete the course and your own research.

There will be the opportunity to collaborate with our Institute for Health and Care Improvement (IHCI) or one of our other research groups covering health, bioscience and sport. There is a strong social justice element to this work. These groups are concerned with finding solutions to key health challenges currently faced by the region.

You will be supported and guided by a qualified research supervisor with subject specialist knowledge applicable to the topic for your research project.
