Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine MSc

UCL (University College London)

Nanotechnology and regenerative medicine are rapidly expanding fields and have the potential to revolutionise modern medicine. This renowned cross-disciplinary master's programme gives you a robust scientific understanding in these fields, combined with a hands-on practical and translational focus. MSc Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine equips you with a critical understanding of how nanotechnology and regenerative medicine technologies can be used for the improved detection and treatment of disease. You will learn about the use of nanotechnologies in medicine, how stem cells can improve tissue regeneration, how lab-grown 3D tissues and organelles can be used for improved disease modelling, and how you can change the properties of biomaterials to induce tissue regeneration. We also critically discuss the challenges involved in converting these technologies into products that can benefit patients and society. Our modules are offered by blended learning, which includes a mix of face-to-face teaching and online study. If you study with us full-time, you will be on campus most days each week. The MSc offers an exciting opportunity to study within the world-leading medical research environment of the UCL Division of Surgery & Interventional Science. You will focus on real medical challenges, work on your own cutting-edge research, and graduate in a strong position to pursue a career in medical science, nanomedicine or regenerative medicine. The programme is designed to be accessible to students from many disciplines, ranging from medicine and biology to physics, chemistry and engineering. Most students come from a biomedical background. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
