MSc Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible

Course Description

Nanotechnology and regenerative medicine are rapidly expanding fields and have the potential to revolutionise modern medicine. This renowned cross-disciplinary master's programme gives you a robust scientific understanding in these fields, combined with a hands-on practical and translational focus.

This MSc Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine equips you with a critical understanding of how nanotechnology and regenerative medicine technologies can be used for the improved detection and treatment of disease.

You will learn about the use of stem cells in medicine, tissue engineering for tissue and organ regeneration, and the use of biomaterials for directing cell behaviour. We cover the regulatory, ethical, and commercial hurdles involved in translating these emerging technologies into products that can benefit patients.

Our modules are offered by blended learning, which includes a mix of face-to-face teaching and online study. If you study with us full-time, you will be on campus most days each week.

The MSc offers an exciting opportunity to study within the world-leading medical research environment of the UCL Division of Surgery & Interventional Science. You will focus on real medical needs, work on your own cutting-edge research, and graduate in a strong position to pursue a career in nanomedicine or regenerative medicine.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in a science/engineering subject or a medical degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Research experience will also be taken into account.

Student Destinations

Our graduates gain the transferable laboratory skills, cutting-edge knowledge, science communication skills, and critical thinking, which are needed to pursue a career in the scientific or clinical research within the fields in nanomedicine and regenerative medicine.

Networking with world-leading scientists, new biotechnology industries and clinicians is enabled throughout the programme. We also encourage research output in terms of publishing papers and presenting at conferences.

According to the HESA survey, our graduates work at a variety of destinations:

  • NHS hospitals
  • Medical manufacturing companies such as Cosara Diagnostics and Gowerlabs
  • Medical technology solutions architects including IQVIA and Microbe & Lab
  • Medical research labs, from Repositive to the National Laboratory Astana
  • Regulators, such as the Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
  • Surgical simulation and training, such as FundamentalVR
  • Software companies, including Automation Logic and Bulbshare
  • Pharmaceuticals / pain management, such as Grunenthal.

Their roles are heavily science-based, including laboratory technicians, natural science professionals, biochemists, biomedical, biological, chemical, and physical scientists, pharmacists, engineers, and IT professionals. Some are more patient-focused, as GPs or specialist medical practitioners. Some roles are in research and development and manufacturing, including R&D managers and production supervisors, or as regulatory professionals.
