Course summary

Course description

Our MSc Cell Biology course will enable you to consider the most exciting current problems in the field under the guidance of leading experts in cell biology.

Our understanding of cell biology will undoubtedly help in the quest for treatments for major diseases, including cancer. Our course will give you a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that define and regulate the function of cells and organisms.

As this is a research-focused master's course, you will take an interactive approach to learning, rather than taking traditional lectures. Through seminars, workshops, small group tutorials and research placements, you will learn the concepts and techniques used in cutting-edge research in cell biology and how knowledge of the field can be applied to various fields of research.

You will be able to apply what you learn to your own research projects, which you can choose from a wide range of areas thanks to the large number of cell biology researchers at Manchester.

Career opportunities

This course will provide training in both transferable and subject-specific skills. Your experience of group-based activities and presentations will be valuable in scientific and non-scientific careers.

Your general scientific training will provide you with invaluable skills for a career in academic research, further study (eg PhD study) or in industrial research.

The widespread impact of cell biology on diverse subject areas will provide you with experience in a range of fields and permit you to work within almost any area in the biological sciences.
