Master of Biomedical Science

This programme will prepare high-achieving science graduates and graduates of some clinical programmes (e.g. MBChB) to develop expertise in applying in-depth biological and biomedical knowledge to the improvement of human health through the development of novel approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Students will design and conduct biomedical research and/or translational research designed to improve clinical practice. A written thesis setting out your findings will also be required. As well as the opportunity to undertake research in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, you may also undertake this programme at the University's .

The MBiomedSc is a 120-point or 240-point research masters degree.
