Why study MSc Applied Transfusion and Transplantation Science?

Transfusion and transplantation services save lives. They provide vital blood, stem cell and organ donations for patients with serious illnesses, alongside specialist testing for hospital and out-patients. Due to a national shortage in these services, transfusion and transplant specialists are in high demand. Our MSc in Applied Transfusion and Transplantation Science aims to tackle this shortage.
