You will develop a technical ability for research which can be used as a stepping-stone to embark on a PhD programme, or for a career in academic or industrial research.

The many transferrable skills you will gain, along with a qualification in a STEM-based subject, are desirable qualities for many employers.

“The best thing was getting to work with other researchers who are passionate about their work. I have loved being able to have a dabble in lots of new techniques that I would otherwise never have got to experience, and it’s a great introduction to research without all the stress of a PhD. It has really helped me focus my career goals. They have taught me so much about troubleshooting resilience and allowed me to learn a great deal of transferable skills. I'm certainly much better off for doing the course.”
