• The M.Res in Agriculture at Aberystwyth University is a 5 years full-time program.
  • This scheme aims to facilitate knowledge exchange between academia and industry.
  • Students must complete three taught modules and a 120 credit work-based dissertation/research thesis (approximately 20,000 words in length). While the primary academic focus is on the completion of an advanced piece of research, the collaborative route provided by a work-based research project provides an ideal opportunity to embed new knowledge in the workplace and ensure that research is relevant to the industry.
  • As such, it is crucial that a student’s employer is supportive of both their research aims and the time commitment that the proposed research will involve. Self-employed students should aim to undertake research that will be closely aligned to their business.
  • Students may build on the MRes to work towards a Professional Doctorate.
