研究硕士（MScRes）是一项为期一年的全日制研究课程，它与讲授的硕士课程有所不同，它更加注重研究，并且通过活检（口头）检查，更像是博士，而不是通过对课程和论文进行评分。该学位将使您对最新的研究技能（包括文献检索，法律和道德方面，项目计划，拨款提案撰写以及数据的统计处理等通用技能）充满信心和能力，并允许您申请进一步的研究培训（PhD）课程，或直接申请大学或研究机构的研究职位。可能会不时刊登广告，招募获得该学位的特定资助项目，但欢迎您随时与潜在的主管讨论选择方案。可以在“学校研究”页面上找到研究专业的详细信
The MSc by Research (MScRes) is a one-year full-time research programme that differs from a taught Masters programme by placing more emphasis on research, and by being examined much more like a PhD, by viva voce (oral) examination, rather than by grading of coursework and dissertation. This degree will equip you with confidence and competence in the latest research skills (including generic skills such as literature searching, legal and ethical aspects, project planning, grant proposal writing, and statistical manipulation of data) and allow you to apply for further research training (PhD) programmes, or to directly apply for research positions in universities or research institutes. Specific funded projects leading to this degree may be advertised from time to time, but you are welcome to discuss options at any time with potential supervisors. Details of research specialisms and contact details for staff can be found on the School Research pages. As well as offering strong support for research activities, the School offers unique opportunities for students to conduct project work under internationally recognised supervisors. Students also benefit from our extensive local, national and international links with state and private sector organisations.<br><br>Careers<br>As well as finding specific employment based on the specialist knowledge acquired during postgraduate training, your general employability will be enhanced by evidence of your ability to work independently, to think analytically and innovatively, and to conceptualise and question. During your studies, you will also have the chance to develop essential professional skills such as good communication, teamwork and leadership skills and enhance your practical experience. Our past graduates have gone on to careers in research (both in academia and research institutes) as well as in commercial environmental consultancies, DEFRA, water authorities, scientific publishing, landscape architects and many others.
