About a Masters by Research Degree (MRes):

An MRes combines 33% (60 credits) of taught classes and 67% project (120 credits). On successful completion of the MRes research project it is possible for good quality researchers to transfer to the PhD Programme (i.e. the MRes would be equivalent to the first year of the PhD).

MRes in Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control:

The MRes in IPPC aims to provide advanced study in Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control within the European Community Directive framework.


Contents

The course is largely research and project-based. There is also a taught element to it, involving a curriculum of no fewer than 60 credits deriving from six modules taught by a group of professionally qualified staff with relevant expertise and teaching and research experience. Students attending the course will also have access to laboratory facilities that provide hands on experience essential for experimental analysis.

This course is designed to cater mainly for graduates with a science or engineering education, and employees of public and private sector companies who wish to upgrade their skills to be able to tackle the complex issues relating to the integrated approach of environmental protection. This is achieved by the following course structure:
Core Modules:
