Disease (IICD)

Molecular Medicine is a fast-moving subject, so the MSc in

Molecular Medicine has adapted every year since it began

in 2005. It is aimed at scientists.

You will learn new approaches and discoveries in the

investigation of the molecular basis of human health,

disease and therapy.

The course gives you a choice of specialised Pathways to

allow you to focus on a particular field of interest.

MSc Molecular Medicine

Pathways – Cancer,

Cardiovascular Science,

Experimental Medicine,

New for 2016:

Clinical Applications

We accept graduates in animal and

human biology and clinical graduates.

For overseas students, we require a

good degree in an appropriate field.

We require 6.5 at IELTS, or its

MRes Musculoskeletal Ageing: Key Points

This 1 year Research Masters programme is delivered collaboratively by the Universities of Sheffield, Liverpool and Newcastle and the Centre of Integrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA).

What? The course focuses on understanding why our bones, joints, ligaments and muscles function less well as we age, and how age related decline of the musculoskeletal tissues and age related clinical disorders (such as osteoporosis and arthritis) can be ameliorated or prevented.

Why? With dramatically ageing populations worldwide, Musculoskeletal Ageing is fast becoming one of the key global public health challenges of the future and those trained in this area are highly sought after.

Your career The MRes is ideal preparation for PhD but is also suitable for those wishing to pursue careers in to pursue careers in Orthopaedics, Exercise and Sports Medicine, Geriatrics, Rheumatology and Physiotherapy. We also have strong links with industry and can offer our students the opportunity to have an industrial mentor during their study.

Entry requirements: the course is designed for candidates with an Undergraduate first or upper second class honours degree in the Biological Sciences. We also welcome applications from Engineering, Mathematics, Physiotherapy. Candidates must also have an overall IELTS grade of 6.5 (with a minimum of 6.5 in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening)
