Overview

Newcastle University is world-leading in diabetes research. The Diabetes Research Group in Newcastle has applied magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging to explain the abnormal storage of fat and glycogen in the pancreas, liver and muscle in Type 2 diabetes.

You can take this as a stand-alone qualification or as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.

We ranked in the top 100 for Medicine and Life Sciences. We also ranked in Medicine - QS World University Rankings by Subject 2020.

You'll develop your own bespoke course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then engage in a 24-week research project in cancer research.

Research strongly influences our teaching. Course content changes to reflect developments in:

• the discipline
• the requirements of external bodies and partners
• student feedback

You'll work in a competitive research area. This will be largely in academia, but also in industry.

What you'll learn

You'll study subject-specific content in diabetes research. You'll add to these modules from a broad range of complementary options.

Your 24-week research project comprises the major element of the course. You'll receive supervision from an expert academic researcher in the field.

Your future

This MRes can be a pathway for a career in scientific research in academia and industry. It is also excellent preparation for a PhD.
