The MRes dissertation is a challenging opportunity for engineers to apply their knowledge, skills and critical evaluation at this advanced level of study. Running for 12 months, you will have the opportunity to explore a topic that best suits your career aspirations, through a series of sessions exploring research methods, professional skills, ethics, environmental and social responsibilities. The module will start with fundamentals on research methods delivered via our virtual learning environment that enables self-study (worksheets, videos, quizzes) and complemented with frequent supervisor meetings to reinforce understanding and guide the engineer through their project. The engineer will then tackle challenging engineering projects while working through their dissertation.
