MRes Urban Sustainability and Resilience: Research Project (CEGE0047)

Each student who is registered for the MRes in Urban Sustainability and Resilience is required to carry out an individual research project as part of their programme of study on a topic of their choosing related to urban sustainability and/or resilience. There are many different kinds of project that can be undertaken by students on the MRes. Some of them will involve field work. Others will involve laboratory experiments or other forms of data collection such as interviews, questionnaire surveys, or observations. Some may involve developing a theoretical framework. Some may be a state-of-the-art review. If you intend to continue on to study for an EngD or PhD the MRes project may be designed to inform the direction and/or scope of your doctoral research as well as providing some reportable results. Students are encouraged to publish the results of their research project.
