The Masters in Medical Sciences programme is the only one of its kind in the UK and is proven to give graduates the competitive edge in the job market. It’s designed for high-calibre medicine graduates who want to explore and benefit from medical research, perhaps with a view to pursuing a PhD or a career in research.

Examples of completed projects are:

• Therapeutic Hypothermia Decreases Intracranial Pressure in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
• Renal Function in the 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Null Mouse
• Immune cell populations in the mouse lung during RSV infection
• Salt Appetite in Stable Heart Disease and Healthy Volunteers
• You will need to secure a supervisor and project before starting the degree.
