Course summary

Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of death and ill health globally. This flexible MSc, taught by leading scientists and clinicians, will give you the specialist laboratory and clinical expertise in cardiovascular science to advance your career and bring new interventions to the people who need them most. Choose to study the course over one, two or up to five years. This interdisciplinary Master’s degree in molecular, cellular and clinical cardiovascular science will allow you to explore microvascular biology, animal models of cardiovascular disease, and mechanisms by which the heart and vasculature function in health and disease. You won’t just study laboratory principles, research methods and an introduction to statistics – you will also gain an awareness of research integrity and practice valuable research skills relating to the latest developments in cardiovascular science. If you are a clinician, you will have the option to study the Clinical Cardiology module. You will work on your own research project, and benefit from active collaborations between researchers at the bench, on the computer and in clinics. Close links with industry will also help you gain insight into preventative and therapeutic cardiovascular medicine to support your future career, and enable you to make an impact in cardiovascular science in research, medicine, healthcare, industry or beyond. The course is offered on a flexible basis to fit around your work or other commitments. You can choose to study it full-time (over one year), part-time (over two years) or in flexible / modular mode (over up to five years). This course is designed for scientists, healthcare professionals and clinicians, who may be studying or working in the UK or anywhere in the world, who wish to gain a thorough background in cardiovascular science, either for further research or education in this field, career development or for entry into healthcare, industry, and related fields. The course is for both full-time students as well as those studying in part-time or flexible modular mode, alongside their career or other responsibilities. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
