MSc - Master of Science
York campus
Full Time
JAN
1 year
This one-year research programme provides an opportunity for graduates with an interest in biomedical science to complete a masters level course during which they carry out a research project in their specific area of interest working under the supervision of an academic member of staff. Biomedical Science covers the area of basic science which focuses on the study of fundamental biological processes involved in health and disease. Spanning a wide variety of disciplines in the life and physical sciences, biomedical research employs cross-disciplinary approaches with the overall aim to understand and treat disease.
This is not a taught course and does not require completion of specific taught modules. The MSc by Research is often a popular choice for those wanting a full-time research experience and can provide a valuable steppingstone to those wishing to embark on a PhD programme.
Studying across a range of disciplines you will have access to tailored York Biomedical Research Institute (YBRI) training activities focussed on the biomedical sciences and the core YBRI themes:
