Programme specification:
The integrated PhD & Masters programme has been developed to offer an interdisciplinary approach to the development of TERM.
- The MSc is integrated into a 4 year PhD programme via the Integrated PhD & MSc route also monitored through the Graduate Boards Programmes of Study and Audit Group.
- The content of the MSc training modules responds to the need for multidisciplinary approaches, a solid understanding of medical problems, appreciation of underlying biological mechanisms, and the development of engineering systems and techniques. Therefore new types of physical scientists and engineers are required to train at the engineering-life science interface with advanced multidisciplinary basic sciences, and innovative research training environment.
- The MSc programme is designed to enable students with a range of physical science and engineering backgrounds to convert to specialisation in regenerative medicine, through an appropriate combination of compulsory and optional modules.
- The taught modules provide a range of compulsory and optional advanced modules in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and medical technologies.
- The compulsory training aspects of the MSc contain multidisciplinary laboratory training opportunities, which will enable the students to both broaden and specialise in their learning, a literature review designed to provide a platform of research in their chosen area, an external placement offering them relevant training in industry or an academic laboratory, experimental design and analysis training and finally generic skills training planned around their individual needs.
- The choice of optional MSc modules will be influenced by the students choice of PhD programme in the overall Integrated PhD & MSc programme, under consultation with the Programme Director (both the MSc programme and Integrated PhD & MSc programme) and students PhD supervisors.
