Cardiovascular Science MSc

You’ll develop a detailed knowledge of molecular and cellular cardiovascular science, animal models of cardiovascular disease, microvascular biology and mechanisms by which the heart and vasculature function in health and disease, as well as laboratory principles, research methods and an introduction to statistics. You’ll also gain an awareness of research integrity and practice valuable research skills relating to developments in cardiovascular science.

You conduct a research project, offering the opportunity to benefit from active collaborations between researchers at the bench, on the computer and in the clinics, as well as relationships with industry, gaining insight into preventative and therapeutic cardiovascular medicine that will support your future career and enable you to make an impact in cardiovascular science.

You will attend taught modules in terms 1 and 2. Research project activities also start in terms 1 and 2 and run full time during term 3 and the summer months. If you study full-time or part-time, you will have a defined timetable and may be eligible for a Postgraduate Master’s Loan from Student Finance England. If you study in flexible / modular mode, you will not be eligible for a Postgraduate Master’s Loan, but you will have more flexibility around how many modules you take each year.
