Research Masters Agrifood Innovation

A ‘Research Masters’ programme places a greater emphasis on research, rather than on taught elements. The MRes Agrifood Innovation is worth 180 credits.

Typically students will spend one year completing the taught elements and two years on their research project. However the time allowed is up to 5 years over all. Applicants should consider research projects that they might complete in the work place and potential data sources. Where work based projects are not possible, we may be able to provide access to data or lab facilities as an alternative. Please contact us to find out what's available. 

Students wishing to work towards a doctorate will be registered on the MRes in the first instance as this forms Part 1 of the Professional Doctorate qualification

Please download the reseach propsal form at the bottom of this page and submit it with your MRes application, if this is something which we feel can be supervised at Aberystwyth, you will be invited for an interview. You are welcome to submit your research proposal by email in advance of your application if you would like us to provide initial feedback.
