Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Biomedical science research aims to understand how the human body functions in health and disease, allowing scientists to develop treatments that can improve and save lives.
This MSc allows you to choose from one of two specialist pathways so you can gain core knowledge and practical skills in the area of cutting-edge biomedicine that most interests you.
If you choose our Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine pathway you’ll be trained how to culture, manipulate and analyse human stem cells, learning directly from our experts in the Centre for Stem Cell Biology. You’ll get the chance to master techniques such as stem cell and 3D organoid cultures, manipulation of animal models used to study human disease, in-situ hybridisation and fluorescence microscopy.
Our Cell Biology and Drug Development pathway will allow you to explore cell and animal models and cutting-edge techniques used in the drug discovery industry. Through hands-on training, you’ll develop real-world skills from robotics and automation to cell culture, biomedical assays and high throughput drug screening.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject with relevant modules.
