Overview

Understanding clinical trials design in more detail together with improving your critical evaluation of scientific papers and an extended lab based project will equip you with more knowledge and skills required for pursuing a PhD or other scientific career. This is an excellent opportunity to improve and gain vital lab skills.

The Bioscience (Research and Development) with Practice MSc is an intensive, preclinical science-based programme from University College London (UCL) intended for those who have a biomedical degree 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.

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 and includes the offer of a placement with global partner institutions.

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 foundation of your career

Graduates from this programme will have:

A systematic understanding of research and therapeutics, and a critical awareness of current problems and new insights informed by current research and practice at the forefront of the field
A comprehensive understanding of the techniques and processes which drive both research practice and the therapies themselves
A capacity to apply and generate new knowledge through their own research, with a practical integration of established techniques of research and enquiry in this area, and the potential to innovate new models for research in practice.
