MSc Reproduction and Development This innovative distance-learning programme provides a comprehensive theoretical foundation in the areas of human reproduction and development. The programme is designed to appeal to a wide range of postgraduate students, including scientists, nurses and clinicians.
Residential workshops will be held in Bristol, comprising lectures and seminars, as well as case-based group work, practical sessions and assessments. Each distance learning unit comprises online tutorials and lectures, which are assessed by essays and online questions.
Students on the programme come from a variety of countries and backgrounds; all have an interest in reproduction, infertility and development or wish to pursue careers in these areas. The vast majority of our clinical students on the master’s degree follow the programme for training purposes – for progression and promotion in their chosen discipline, or as a foundation qualification allowing them to specialise in IVF and infertility or obstetrics and gynaecology.
Our clinical graduates use their knowledge and skills to gain research skills to aid publication, develop their medical practices and enhance their expertise in reproductive medicine. Our science graduates have used this master’s degree as a springboard to non-clinical or clinical research, including PhD studentships, or to clinical/ diagnostic positions, such as clinical embryology.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in medicine, a biological or related science, nursing or midwifery.
MSc Stem Cells and Regeneration This innovative distance-learning programme is taught online and will provide you with knowledge and understanding in the highly topical and exciting field of stem cell biology and regeneration. You will be guided from the origins of this field through to its application (and potential applications) in treating human disease,
covering the latest tools and technologies available for study in this area. Programme content is delivered by researchers active in the field, ensuring that the latest breakthroughs are communicated.
Lectures, online discussions and assessments are delivered over the internet. This offers you more flexibility than traditional campus- based courses as you can study in your own environment. You will only be required to visit Bristol for your formal examinations at the end of the academic year. This distance-learning model, together with a part-time study option, makes the programme particularly appealing if you want to combine full-time employment with study.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class (or, exceptionally, a lower second-class) honours degree in a relevant subject (science or medicine).
MSc Teaching and Learning for Health Professionals This programme will help health professionals develop their teaching skills, with a modular unit structure that works towards a postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma or MSc. The programme emphasises practical application of educational methods and theory and the development of reflective, evidence-based practice.
There is a positive, student-centred approach to teaching and learning. Interactive, small- group teaching and the flexible, friendly support received by learners are among the many strengths of the programme, as well as the networking and contacts enjoyed by students in their future careers.
The certificate or diploma can be completed in one year part-time, or spread over three years. The Essentials route allows you to gain 30 master’s-level credits, from which point you can progress to the certificate if you wish. Teaching takes place in Bristol and at other convenient venues in the Severn Deanery area.
Entry requirements: Relevant first degree (or international equivalent) from a recognised institution with good final grades; or a relevant professional qualification with at least three years’ full-time (or equivalent part-time) professional experience. Must have a teaching remit within current job description.
MSc Translational Cardiovascular Medicine This programme aims to develop your interest in translational cardiovascular research and medicine and equip you with an enhanced knowledge, understanding and critical awareness of the current approaches and emerging research in this area. The programme, which is delivered by clinicians and scientists, provides a firm theoretical grounding in the basic scientific principles and clinical applications of translational cardiovascular medicine, and will help you to develop essential skills and prepare for employment or a further higher degree in this field. In addition, you will be introduced to key practical techniques employed in this area.
The programme is designed to appeal to a wide range of students, including biomedical scientists, allied health professionals and clinicians. There are seven core units that make up this MSc, followed by a research project. You have the option to study by distance learning or on campus. For distance learning students, two- week residential workshops will be held in Bristol, comprising lectures, tutorials and seminars as well as journal clubs, practical sessions, visits to clinical sessions and assessments. Campus- based students will attend lectures, tutorials, seminars, journal clubs, visits to clinical sessions, tutorials and practicals in Bristol. Each unit will comprise tutorials and lectures plus essays and assessments.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class (or, exceptionally, a lower second-class) honours degree in a science or medicine-related subject.
