Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Actively participate in the exciting field of Stem Cell Technology and Regenerative Medicine with the longest-running course of its kind in the UK.
Discover how we obtain and maintain adult, embryonic and pluripotent stem cells and their potential to repair tissue damage and cure diseases like diabetes, cancer, Parkinson's, and dementia.
Deepen your knowledge of the practical skills and techniques required to study the science of stem cells. You'll also gain a strong understanding of the business, ethical, and legal aspects of dealing with them. The course culminates in an in-depth six-month independent research project. You'll study a topic you're interested in, work with experts in the field and use some of the latest technology in our new Biodiscovery Institute.
Whether you aim to go into industry or further research into stem cells, this course is the perfect opportunity for you to gain the knowledge and skills you'll need to succeed.

If your first degree is not biology-based, you must also have A level Biology at Grade B or above.
2:2 undergraduate degrees will be considered if you have demonstrated practical skills through working in industry or academia for at least six months. All students with 2:2 degrees will be required to have an interview.
Our graduates go on to a wide range of careers. Since 2008, over 45% of our students have gone on to do a PhD in universities around the world, others have also progressed into academia as assistant professors and research fellows.
Many are also working in biotechnology and positions in the stem cell industry and government-funded agencies (like stem cell banks) in roles such as:
