need to have successfully completed year three to be eligible for this programme. Graduates of these professional clinical programmes are also eligible to apply.
MSc Molecular Neuroscience The programme provides intensive training in the neurosciences as they relate to the physiologic function and behaviour of the organism. It builds on the broad research strengths of recognised scientists, particularly in basic and clinical neuroscience, molecular and cell biology, neuroendocrinology, behaviour, neurodegeneration and stress. Guest lecturers from other universities bring their specialist and advanced knowledge to the programme.
Throughout the programme, basic principles will be taught and illustrated in the context of various brain diseases, including psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. A practical and a research project will give you valuable experience in experimental neuroscience. Importantly, tutorials and presentations will also help to develop your communication skills.
The MSc will appeal to graduates looking to embark on subsequent PhD studies as well as to those with a medical training who want to diversify into research. With this master’s, you could also develop a further career in industry, the health service, science communication and clinical trials coordination.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class (or exceptionally, a lower second-class) honours degree (or international equivalent) in a relevant subject (eg a biological, health or related science subject, medicine or psychology).
MSc Perfusion Science This programme addresses both academic and professional requirements: it integrates academic knowledge and understanding with both the needs of the working professional clinical

perfusion scientist and the demands of professional registration with the Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists of Great Britain and Ireland (SCPS).
This programme is only available to students who have secured a clinical perfusion scientist trainee position with an accredited training centre in Great Britain or Ireland. It will develop your interest in and knowledge and understanding of perfusion science. Successful completion of the programme will lead to accreditation as a clinical perfusion scientist by the SCPS.
This MSc provides high-quality, research-led education that is focused on the needs of students interested in perfusion science. It will equip you with enhanced knowledge, understanding and critical awareness of the current approaches and emerging research in the field.
The programme offers a firm theoretical grounding in the basic scientific principles and clinical applications of perfusion science. In conjunction with work-based practical training, this will provide you with the essential skills for employment or a further degree in this field.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or, exceptionally, a lower second-class honours degree) in a science or medicine-related subject. Applicants must have secured a clinical perfusion scientist trainee position at an accredited training centre in Great Britain or Ireland.
MSc Public Health This MSc will prepare you for a public health career in a range of settings, such as health services, government, research and not-for-profit. You will gain core skills and knowledge that are applicable for public health work in the UK and internationally. These include critically appraising evidence, analysing and interpreting data, research methods, and applying methods to protect
health, prevent ill-health and improve health services. The programme is suitable for students from both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds.
The MSc covers the principles and practice of public health, health improvement, health protection, epidemiology and statistics, research methods and evaluation, health economics, ethics and healthcare services. You will learn from people who practise public health, including colleagues from Public Health England, local government and the National Health Service, in addition to research-led teaching from multi-disciplinary experts.
Teaching methods include lectures, practicals, group work, workshops and seminars. Teaching on campus will take place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for full-time students. For part-time students, teaching will take place on Mondays and Tuesdays in year one and on Thursdays in year two. All units are compulsory, as is the dissertation, which is undertaken in the final term and over the summer. Taught units will contribute 120 credits to the overall degree, while the research dissertation contributes 60 credits.
Your dissertation, which can be based on large- scale studies or a research topic of your choice, will take the form of a journal article, an oral and a poster presentation and opens the possibility of submission for publication. The programme covers many parts of the Faculty of Public Health’s Part A membership examination.
Entry requirements: Applicants are required to hold/achieve a minimum of an upper second- class honours degree in a relevant degree, including (but not limited to) medicine veterinary science, dentistry, pharmacy, biological sciences, statistics, geography, politics, psychology and social sciences. Preference will be given to candidates with excellent academic results in their undergraduate degree and demonstrated interest in public health through work experience, volunteering or research.
