    Queen’s University Belfast

    Queen’s University Belfast was first known as the Queen’s University in Ireland. It received its Royal Charter from Queen Victoria in 1845. From the very beginning it was a non-denominational institution, and was intended as an alternative to Trinity College Dublin, which was specifically an Anglican institution. This early incarnation of the University was composed […]

    Course Summary

    The MSc degree program in Experimental Medicine at Queen’s University Belfast was established to give academics, clinicians and biological scientists in government or industry the skills they need to conduct a wide range of laboratory based biomedical discoveries.

    Queen’s University’s Centre for Experimental Medicine offers access to more than 40 research groups and some truly stare of the art facilities, including Central Technology Units for Genomics and imaging.

    With this degree, you’ll become familiar with a huge amount of cutting edge biomedical research while gaining an understanding of experimental design, interpreting and managing data, and the communication and publishing of experimental results. You will also have access to training which could qualify you for a GCP (good clinical practice) training certificate in Inflammation, Infection and Immunity depending on the research pathway you choose.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This is a 1 year program, delivered across two taught terms and one for research.

    Term 1:

    This 3 month long term is very intensive. You’ll learn critical research skills and then select one specialist module, either Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease or Infection and Immunity.

    Term 2:

    In this term you will beign a substantial research project. The Principle Investigators of the CEM will provide a panel of projects, each related to one of the specialties offered in Term 1.

    If you selected the Diabetes and Cardiovascular stream in term 1, you’ll take a pair of complimentary taught modules relating to that sub-field. These will explore the core principles of these illnesses, as well as looking in detail at both current and still experimental treatments.

    If you took the Infection and Immunity module in Term 1, you’ll take a different set of modules in Term 2. You’ll look at antimicrobial resistance, infection biology, and the role of infection and the inflammatory process in disease. This will involve translational medicine in particular.

    Term 3:

    Your final term will be dedicated solely to finishing your research project.

    Learning & Teaching

    This is an intensive program, taught with close interaction in a dedicated laboratory setting. There will be a strong focus on adapting the very latest technology, research and techniques to medical experimentation and experimental design.

    Career Possiblities

    This program is constantly revised with feedback and consultation from industry participants to ensure that Queen’s Experimental Medicine MSc graduates have all of the skills and abilities which will make them most marketable. Their graduates typically go either into academia (typically PhD programs), clinical practice or the biomedical or pharmaceutical industries.

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals

    Queen’s University Belfast’s MEng in Computer Science usually requires applicants to have achieved a 2:1 honours degree (or better) in a subject closely related to the biological sciences.  

    Entry Requirements for overseas (non-EU) students

    International students must be fluent in written and spoken English. This can be demonstrated with an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (and no segment scoring below 6.0), or one of a number of equivalent qualifications.
