Taught Masters Students

As part of the University of Glasgow, the CVR provides research projects for a number of different taught masters courses, as well as occasionally hosting funded students from other universities.

We regularly offer research projects to students taking MSc Infection Biology. This Masters integrates training in the core specialisms of infection and immunobiology research; its flexible format allows you to gain an MSc in Infection Biology, or choose to specialise in virology, microbiology (bacteriology) or parasitology. We also offer research projects to students in other Masters courses including MSc Bioinformatics,  MSc Biotechnology, and MSc Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy (a joint course with The Glasgow School of Art).

Undergraduate students studying Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Glasgow may be able to carry out year-long MSci research projects at the CVR between L3 and L4 of their course (MSci students are invited to join the training the CVR offers to postgraduate research students and to form part of the year’s cohort of postgraduate researchers). Please contact your course coordinators for details.

You can also obtain a Masters Degree by carrying out an extended research project at the CVR, with no formal taught components. More details of MSc (Research) degrees can be found here.
