About this degree
The MSc Bioscience (Research and Development) is an intensive, preclinical science-based programme intended for those who have a biomedical background, and have an interest in furthering their knowledge and understanding of the development of novel therapies, by learning about therapeutic approaches in stem cell gene therapy, the science of disease and treatment paradigms, engagement with the practical applications of therapies and the translational possibilities within these.
The programme is intended to develop practical skills and strategies for shaping their research practice for identifying science-based solutions and innovations, and shaping opportunities for these to be developed and actualised in lab based contexts.
The period of study provides you with an extended period of lab time, which then drives into a term of independent research activity and lab based practice, ensuring that you will leave with meaningful bench skills and a defined lab based research project completed, maximising your capacity to develop your practice further through PhD study/Institutional research or in workplace Laboratory contexts.
Who this course is for
Bioscience graduates are encouraged to apply.
What this course will give you
The programme will utilise the expertise available at the institute given that staff are all mainly translational researchers across the life sciences.
The programme is also predicated on you being able to shape your own area of interest from a suite of optional modules delivered by other UCL departments. The location allows for students to place their learning on this programme in a context that explicitly consolidates research into translational practice and implementation.
The programme provides you with an intensive taught curriculum, which then feeds into periods of independent research activity, ensuring that you will leave with a substantial lab based skills and research portfolio, maximising your capacity to develop your practice further through PhD study/institutional research or in workplace laboratory contexts.
