Mastering the science of blood – exploring its characteristics and disorders and understanding how it’s transfused – impacts far beyond the laboratory.
We’ve designed our MSc Haematology and Transfusion Science degree to enable you to develop an advanced theoretical understanding and the practical techniques you’ll need to apply in a research or clinical context.
You’ll start by developing a well-rounded understanding of biomedical topics, learning about analytical techniques and human disorders. You’ll then look at a range of specialist modules – offering an in-depth look at everything from blood cells and diseases to blood groups, transfusion methods and immunological aspects of blood. From there, you'll be ready to tackle the issues that fascinate you, with an independent master’s research project.
Whether you study full-time for a year or part-time for up to three years, our haematology and transfusion science master’s can open many doors for your future. From furthering your career in a hospital laboratory or working in a research facility, to continuing your studies or moving into teaching or management, be ready for a career full of impact.
Career prospects
This course offers an avenue into a range of specialist fields like hospital science, the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries or public health and transfusion laboratories. The subjects you’ll cover will not only help you prepare for the Institute of Biomedical Science higher specialist examination, and the advanced practice that follows, but can also lay the groundwork for careers in research or teaching or to pursue studies towards a PhD.
Our work with the NHS and clinicians helps us keep our curriculum up-to-date and clinically relevant, ensuring that our graduates have the skills and knowledge which are vital for the workplace – and sought after by employers.
You’ll have careers support from the moment you join us and for up to three years after you’ve finished your course. We offer a range of services, both in the Department of Life Sciences and through the University’s Careers Service, with dedicated careers and employability advisers you can turn to for guidance and support.
