Program Description

The programme is designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to understand various diseases and disorders with a view to producing drug, cell or gene-based therapies. You’ll cover the full spectrum of activity, from clinical-focused research at the cell-level, right through to biotechnology and engineering, producing the regenerative products of the future.You’ll be exposed to real research within various medical fields and cutting-edge molecular techniques in cell and tissue engineering, including stem cell engineering, tissue engineering with nanomaterials, bioreactors, 3D bioprinting, CRISPR genetic engineering, optogenetics, and nanomedicine.The flexible structure of the course enables you to personalise your study according to your interests, choosing optional modules from a broad range of subjects, which span the disciplines of biology, maths and engineering. This, coupled with clinical visits, specialist seminars and a choice of dissertation projects that span fundamental research to clinical translation of technologies, ensures a truly ‘bench to bedside’ approach.Interacting with active researchers, clinicians and practitioners also gives you a greater appreciation of the context in which healthcare engineering operates, including vital safety, environmental and economic concerns, for instance, in relation to medical devices and technology services.The MSc Cell and Tissue Engineering can be studied as either a one year full-time or a two year part-time course, usually starting in September. We also have an additional intake in January. You will complete 180 credits to obtain the master’s qualification, comprising seven compulsory modules and two optional modules. This includes the core Project Dissertation module which accounts for 60 credits. There are also two interim awards available, depending on how many modules (and credits) have been successfully completed: a Postgraduate Certificate for 60 credits; and a Postgraduate Diploma for 120 credits. For January intake (students starting from Semester 2 in January), students will proceed as per module and assessment schedule in the respective semesters of a standard September start, except that for these students course runs from January to December (exception to MTE-40055 assessment outlined below).
