MSc Biomedical Sciences

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 2 years

Masters Degree Description

Build a comprehensive knowledge base and multidisciplinary skill set for either a PhD or a career in the biomedical industries, with an exciting and commercially relevant Biomedical Sciences MSc that takes you deep into the science of human health.

The overall aim of the course is for students to develop an advanced understanding of the structure and function of biomedical systems, together with an understanding of the mechanisms underlying normal function and dysfunction at molecular, cellular and systems levels. Students will acquire and put into practice the research skills necessary to investigate mechanisms and develop knowledge in this field.

Entry Requirements

Normally a minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences, life sciences or related subject area, or a medical degree (MBBS), or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
