Can I do a Master by Research program in the UK with only a bachelor's degree and no master's for a MRes?

Yes, you can apply for a Master by Research (MRes) in the UK with only a bachelor's degree. Most UK universities accept applicants with a good honours bachelor's degree (typically 2:1 or above) in a relevant subject.

With your BA in Arts and 55% marks, you may meet the basic eligibility for some MRes programs, but requirements vary by university. Some may expect higher grades or a closely related subject.

You'll also need to meet English language requirements, usually through an IELTS score (current typical minimum: 6.5 overall, no less than 5.5 in any section; subject to change).
