Course Information
Our MSc Haematology and Transfusion Science course is based around ten core units. You can study all units within one year if youre studying full-time or spread over the course of three years if studying part-time.
Youll cover eight units based around various aspects of haematology and transfusion science, from analytical techniques and recent advances in Biomedical Science to haemostasis and haematological malignancies. Including two units focussing in-depth on transfusion where youll study transfusion and transplantation science in-depth and become better equipped to analyse, evaluate and adapt methods in transfusion science practice, research and development.
We have designed our Research Methods and Ethics in Biomedical Science unit to help you develop advanced skills in research methods. Youll explore the evidenced-based and ethical frameworks youll need to complete your own in-depth, independent research project.
Above all, your research project is your chance to tackle the issues that fascinate you most. With a deep dive into a topic of your choice, your project will help you understand both the process and the communication of scientific enquiry. Youll be guided through your proposal and review process to equip you with the skills you need to complete an independent piece of research.
As part of our Department of Life Sciences, youll have the support of an expert team and access to excellent laboratory facilities spanning microbiology, exercise performance and human physiology, cell and molecular biology, genomics, blood biochemistry, cell culture and biomechanics.

We represent one of the highest concentrations of health research excellence in the UK. Our research is targeted at alleviating the threats of infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke and age-related decline to human health and wellbeing. We recognise that a fundamental understanding of how biology and biological interactions contribute to these disease conditions will inform clinical application and policy change to benefit human health and wellbeing. Our research stretches through prokaryote microbiology, through eukaryote cell, tissue and organ biology to clinical science and human population studies. We conduct basic and translational research to understand biological systems in disease, sensing and detecting by-products of disease and contemporary challenges, including ageing and development of new technologies for personalised medicine.
