Summary
MRes
MRes Agrifood Innovation at Aberystwyth University provides access to the latest thinking around the Circular Economy and is ideal for anyone with an interest in integrating this ethos into agrifood practice or policy. Aimed at those working with or within the Welsh agrifood supply chains, this course places greater emphasis on research than on taught elements and is an ideal stepping stone for those considering developing the research aspect of their career.
Individual taught modules run for 14 weeks by distance learning. There are three intakes per year so you can start in January, May or September.
The research elements are carried out in your workplace with regular academic supervision. The training is web-based which means that as long as you have access to a reasonable broadband connection (i.e. are able to stream videos such as on YouTube), you can study wherever and whenever best suits you.
