About Medical Sciences, MSc by Research - at Lancaster University

During the MSc by Research you will undertake a nine month research project with a three month write up of your dissertation.

In the course of your year of research we will train you in how to design, conduct, analyse and write up a medical sciences-related research project. You supervisor will be drawn from our academic staff. Depending on the project this may also involve partners from a local NHS trust.

You will learn to design, conduct and report independent and original research; to critically evaluate relevant literature; to develop problem solving skills; to analyse research data; to communicate the results of research; to understand scholarly conventions in the discipline area; and to have respect for intellectual integrity and the ethics of research.

Recent projects include:

  • The role of osteoarthritic cytokines in ochronotic arthropathy.
  • Localisation of the stem cell population in the cornea.
  • Ethical decision making in organ donation.
  • How do students’ social networks evolve during their time at medical school?
  • Hamstring injury risk, rehabilitation, and different intervention strategies in elite football.

Previous graduates have presented their work at international academic conferences and had their work published in leading academic journals.
