ABOUT
Course description
Lead academic: Dr Victoria Ridger
The WHO estimates that by 2030 more than 23 million people will die annually from heart disease. The discovery of effective and novel treatments for disease starts with understanding the molecular and cellular processes involved.
The course is delivered by experts within the cardiovascular field, both clinicians and academics. It provides a unique research environment within which students can learn valuable transferable skills encompassing the full range of activity from discovery science at the laboratory bench to the hospital clinic/bedside. The research project forms the major part of your studies, during which time you will be integrated into the department as a member of an established research team.
MRes
A Master of Research (MRes) degree, while containing some taught elements, focuses more on research skills. The course will:
- Provide a good understanding of the basic science as well as some clinical insight into pathological conditions.
- Give insight into cutting edge research, both in the lab and in the clinic.
- Provide extended experience of a hypothesis-driven laboratory research project alongside experts in the field.
All of the above will increase your employability in both industry and academia, as well as being an excellent route to a PhD. It will also provide valuable transferable skills that you can use in whatever career path you choose.
Intercalation
We accept medical students who wish to intercalate their studies.
This MRes is a popular choice for intercalating medical students, providing both taught modules to develop research skills and a deeper knowledge of cardiovascular medicine, as well as an eight-month research project as a foundation to support future clinical academic research opportunities.
An MRes qualification provides medical students with 4 points for their NHS Foundation Programme applications. Further points are awarded for publications arising from the research project.
Modules
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.
Duration
1 year full-time
Teaching
Teaching is delivered by research scientists, clinicians and clinical research managers. It consists of lectures supported by interactive tutorials and seminars. Demonstrations, simulations and practical classes are also used. Students will attend departmental seminars and Research in Progress meetings as well as research group meetings once the project has started.
Assessment
Assessment is by oral and poster presentations, short reports and a translational perspectives leaflet. The research project is assessed by an oral presentation and written dissertation.
Your career
Our graduates find work in many areas and industries. Some have gone onto further training in clinical or non-clinical PhD research, whereas others have returned to medicine.
They have also secured roles as a research technician or assistant, as well as places on a wide variety of graduate training programmes.
Entry requirements
2:1 in a relevant science undergraduate degree. A 2:2 may be considered with strong performance in research-related modules. We also welcome medical graduates as well as UK medical undergraduates wishing to intercalate.
Overall IELTS score of 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in each component, or equivalent.
Fees and funding
- Home (2022 annual fee) : £11,500
- Overseas (2022 annual fee) : £26,200
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you’re studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

accommodation
The international undergraduate and postgraduate students at this university can use different types of accommodation options and live in a safe and vibrant environment to focus entirely on their studies and get the best result, also the students can use the cafes and bars gyms, and other living facilities, on the other hand, they can have an accommodation tour and Sheffield city tour to become familiar with their living environment and make the most suitable decision, as we said, this university offers various accommodation options with different fees like £6,782.58 to £10,210.62 for a rental place in the city for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and they can choose to have a private or shared room.
After Graduation
The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
