MRes instead of MSc

Quote From eng77:
. I am an MRes holder. The main advantage of MRes is that it gives more practical and research experience. The degree is a Master degree after all same as MSc. But if you want my opinion, it has a downside if there are no taught modules as employees would like to see transcripts and grades. It is also not very well known outside the UK. You need sometimes to explain what MRes is. Also make sure you have enough fund or self fund because it might take longer than MSc.

Thanks for your reply. It was helpful. The MRes I'm interested in has taught modules. In fact it is exactly the same as a MSc but they decided to call it MRes. The only difference between it and the MSc is what is taught is more advanced.

Will employers accept a MRes instead of a MSc if they require a MSc for the job? The MRes I'm interested in is exactly the same as a taught MSc (it has taught parts and a dissertation etc). Don't want to say what subject as I don't want to be too specific.

The jobs I'm interested in usually ask for a MSc or PhD.
