For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept an IELTS test (Academic module) from any of the 1000 IELTS test centres from around the world and we do not require a specific UKVI IELTS test for degree level programmes. We therefore still accept any of the English tests listed for admission to this programme.
Our aim is to train a new generation of researchers with expertise in stem cell culture, engineering, regulation and translation in the regenerative medicine space, to help fill the skills shortage in the industrial life sciences sector.
The UK and further afield hosts a rapidly growing regenerative medicine sector with major centres focused on production of cellular and acellular therapies and a growth of clinical trialling. Therefore, there is increasing demand for recruits with highly specialised regenerative medicine experience.
Train in our centre for excellence, specialising in stem cell science and their potential within regenerative medicine.
Receive expert teaching, from academics and clinicians, providing in depth understanding on the concepts of stem cells and the translation aims.
With a focus on stem cells, address unmet skills shortages in interdisciplinary sciences
Work experimentally across disciplines, with industry and clinicians.
Strong links to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, stratifying our stem cell models to different diseases, such as bone (osteoporosis), cartilage (arthritis), bone marrow (cancer dormancy, haematopoiesis), skin (toxicology, wound healing), nerve and infection (airway, bone).

The MSc comprises 3 semesters; the first two involve several taught courses (via lectures, tutorials, practical sessions and seminars), whilst during the final semester students undertake a research project.
The taught elements of the course will train students in basic laboratory skills as well as concepts in stem cell science, cell engineering and microenvironments, equipping them to fulfil a relevant research project of their choice.
Core Courses:
Molecular Research Skills
Stem Cell Science and Engineering Microenvironments for Regenerative Medicine
Biophysics of Cells and Systems
Nanofabrication
Scaffolds and Tissues
Current Trends and Challenges in Biomedical Research and Health
Designing a Research Project: Biomedical Research Methodology
Optional Courses:
Bio-imaging for Research Scientists
Omic Analyses for the Biomedical Sciences: form Genomics to Metabolomics
Pre-Sessional English Course
This depends on your starting level. For students aiming for the standard requirement of IELTS 6.5 and starting a degree programme in September we recommend
Following completion, graduates will be equipped with the skills to progress with a career in stem cell engineering and regenerative medicine directly, through a variety of means such as :
Regulation (e.g. MHRA, SNBTS, CGTC),
Industry (e.g. regenerative medicine, pharma, toxicology),
Academia ,
Patenting and IP,
Local government (governance and law)
Science writing,
Further research training via a PhD
