Course summary

Join this cutting-edge MSc to lead the translation of breakthrough cell and gene therapies into life-changing medical treatments. Designed and delivered in close collaboration with industry, this unique one-year MSc equips you with the scientific, manufacturing and commercialisation expertise needed to bring advanced therapies from bench to bedside. This programme offers the ideal foundation for a career in cell and gene therapy, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech entrepreneurship, and consultancy. Prepare to lead the commercial application of some of the most important medical discoveries of the modern age with a Master’s that’s co-designed and delivered by the same industry professionals currently delivering these therapies to the marketplace. Whether you’re looking to take an R&D or R&D/manufacturing leadership role or drive commercial growth through a more business and technology-focused specialism, this programme will give you a comprehensive understanding of everything you need to translate therapies from ‘lab bench to bedside’. Through practical laboratory training and a practical research project on a relevant area of advanced therapy application with some research placement in industry, you’ll learn key laboratory techniques and research skills – including cell culture of human adult and embryonic stem cells, T-cells, exosomes and many analytical techniques. You'll gain valuable insights from leading industry professionals who will teach you about the commercial and regulatory landscapes that shape advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMPs). Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to apply your newly acquired skills in real-world industrial settings in the commercialisation module. The industrial committee members also support the students via mentoring, offering company site visits and research project placements. This MSc will enable and empower two types of complementary future leaders: (1) Scientific and Manufacturing Leaders: those who further and lead scientific R&D/manufacturing activity within the sector. (2) Business and Technology Leaders: those who understand the key business/technology innovations and drive commercial growth, profitability and operational excellence to maintain competitive advantage.
