MSc Biomedical Sciences Research

This programme aims to equip you with the skills and attributes needed to succeed in the dynamic field of Biomedical Sciences research. You will develop knowledge and understanding of key areas of contemporary research in human health and disease. You will be taught by experts with a diverse range of expertise and will consider different approaches to addressing global health challenges.

Optional units and project choices allow some flexibility within the programme, giving you the opportunity to pursue your interests. Reflecting the dynamic nature of our research within the Biomedical Sciences, project options vary each year, with previous students carrying out exciting research in areas ranging from biochemistry, cancer biology, cell biology, immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, pharmacology and physiology, to stem cell biology and virology.

You will gain experience in important laboratory techniques and develop data analysis skills. You will also develop critical thinking skills and become confident in communicating science. Throughout the programme, we will support you in reflecting on your personal development, helping you to develop attributes desirable to a range of future employers, both in and beyond Biomedical Sciences research.
