The Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine MSc 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 and nanoparticles to change biological interactions. We also critically discuss the challenges involved in converting these technologies into products that can benefit patients and society.
The MSc offers an exciting opportunity to study within the world-leading medical research environment of the UCL Division of Surgery and 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.
Our graduates gain the transferable laboratory skills, cutting-edge knowledge, science communication skills, and critical thinking, which are needed to pursue a career in the scientific or clinical research within the fields in nanomedicine and regenerative medicine.
Networking with world-leading scientists, new biotechnology industries and clinicians is enabled throughout the course.
Student career progression is acentral focus of the course, and there is an emphasis on students developing key professional skills in critical analysis, project management, data analysis, and communication. In addition a number of industry networking events are available for students.
According to the HESA survey*, 79% of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine MSc graduates are in employment or further study. Of these, 46.8% are in highly skilled roles and 32.3% progress to postgraduate study, including PhDs.
Graduates have gone on to doctoral training at leading institutions, including UCL, Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, MiT, ETH Zurich, and Imperial College London.
