This degree program is typically delivered over 16 months. In that time you’ll be able to specialise in genomics, bioinformatics, clinical biochemistry and diagnostics, the pathobiology of genetic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, or in infectious diseases.

Students who wish to receive a full MSc award mist complete 12 credits of modules (detailed below) as well as a research project worth a further 60 credits.

Modules Include:

• Advanced Biological Aspects of Disease

Here you’ll study the latest research on disease and treatment.

• Analytical Techniques

This module focuses on the instrumentation of bioscience research and experimental analysis.

• Clinical Biochemistry and Diagnostic Techniques

Here you’ll learn about the latest diagnostic techniques in a clinical context. 

• Genomics and Bioinformatics

Here you’ll learn about the latest advances in genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics.

• Pathobiology of Genetic Disorders and Neurodegenerative Disease

You’ll explore the basis of diseases like Parkinson’s, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

• Pathobiology of Infectious Diseases

Here you’ll study important pathogens and their effects on humans in detail.

This degree program is designed to help students who have already achieved a good BSc (hons) degree in Biomedical Science hone their skills in order to qualify for advanced roles in a wide range of bioscience-related industries. In order to enhance your employability, you’ll have the option to participate in several short term industrial placements. It is also an excellent pathway to a PhD program at Teesside or a range of other excellent institutions.
