What will I learn?

Overview

You'll develop your own bespoke course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then complete a 24-week research project.

Our teaching is research-informed. Course content changes to reflect developments in:

  • the discipline
  • the requirements of external bodies and partners
  • student feedback

Regenerative medicine and stem cell research is a competitive area. Your studies will be centered around academia. You'll also have an opportunity to access industry experience in some cases.

What you'll learn

You'll study subject-specific content in medical genetics research. You'll add to these modules from a broad range of complementary options. You'll also have training in general research principles, professional and key skills.

Your 24-week research project comprises the major element of the course. You'll receive supervision from an expert academic researcher in the field.

We work with Durham University, with project opportunities in both universities.
