Develop an advanced understanding of this exciting area of medicine and clinical research.

The use of stem cells for research and in the clinical arena is one of the most exciting areas of modern science. Our MSc will help enable you to develop an up-to-date understanding of this expanding field. The application of stem cells and new regenerative medicines will help solve major longstanding health problems – for example ageing-related disorders, diseases such as chronic heart disease, arthritis and spinal cord injury.

You will receive training in the key skills required in the reading and interpretation of the literature and translating that into evidence-based practice. We aim to develop your research and writing skills so that you will be in a position to contribute to the scientific literature in an effective manner.

The course culminates in the Research Dissertation, which will be assessed through your production of a research article written in the style of publishable scientific work and a short oral presentation. Options could include literature, data or laboratory-based projects, depending on research interests.

Successful completion of this MSc course can lead to a range of exciting career and research opportunities including careers in biomedical or clinical research, medicine, physician associate, PhD study or teaching.
