MSc in Stem Cells and Regeneration - The University of Bristol
The University of Bristol now offers a taught MSc in Stem Cells and Regeneration. The course is delivered via an innovative distance-learning model, giving students maximum flexibility.
The programme provides students with a firm theoretical grounding in stem cells and regenerative medicine. It covers the basic scientific principles of stem cells and their clinical application with reference to the ethical considerations arising from this. It also introduces students to key practical techniques employed in the field and to related scientific areas such as molecular biological approaches, cell signalling and biomaterials science. Course content is delivered by researchers active in the field, ensuring that the very latest breakthroughs are communicated.
The course is taught via an innovative distance-learning model with lectures, on-line discussions and assessments being delivered using the internet.
MODULES OFFERED
Introduction to Stem Cells and Regeneration
Neurodegenerative and Ophthalmic Disorders
Molecular Tools in Stem Cells and Regeneration
Peripheral Neuropathy and Spine

FLEXIBLE STUDY OPTIONS
Students can undertake the programme on either a full-time or part-time basis. The full-time option takes one year to complete while the part-time option takes two years to complete. Because the programme is distance-learning based, students are NOT required to base themselves in Bristol for the duration of their studies. However they will be required to visit Bristol for end-of-module examinations (which occur in September of each year).
ASSESSMENT
Each unit is assessed independently based on coursework (essays and computer-assisted assessments) and examinations. For the research module, a written thesis and satisfactory defense in an oral examination and mini-poster presentation will be required.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Applicants will require a good honours degree in a biological or related science or a medical degree. It is essential that applicants have basic computer skills, such as word-processing (Word), data manipulation and presentation (Powerpoint and Excel) and be confident in communicating via e-mail. It will be the responsibility of the applicant to ensure access to a suitable computer connected to the Internet for the duration of the course. Applicants from non-English speaking countries will be required to furnish proof of their proficiency in the English language.
OTHER COURSE OPTIONS
In addition to the MSc programme, we offer two shorter programmes - the Diploma and the Certificate. Details of all available options are as follows:
MSc in Stem Cells and Regeneration
Students obtain a total of 180 credits via completion of 8 taught modules and a research project.
Diploma in Stem Cells and Regeneration
Students obtain a total of 120 credits via completion of taught modules.
Certificate in Stem Cells and Regeneration
Students obtain a total of 60 credits via completion of taught modules.
