Study Haematology MSc

Course Highlights

The MSc in Haematology is designed to enable you to develop an up-to-date, advanced understanding of the disorders of blood and blood science. The course will enable you to have a deeper understanding of blood, and its components and how these can change in different clinical situations and diseases.

You will receive training in the skills required in the reading and interpretation of the literature and translating that into evidence-based practice. We aim to develop your research and writing skills so that you will be in a position to contribute to the scientific literature in an effective manner. You will also have the opportunity to develop your science communication skills.

This course includes ‘Meet the Expert’ webinar series where, at the end of some lectures, there is a live webinar with an international expert. The aim of this webinar series is to reinforce what has been taught in the lecture, through scaffold learning and also to expose students to more experts within the haematology field.

The course culminates in the Research Dissertation, which will be assessed through your production of a research article written in the style of publishable scientific work and a short oral presentation. Options could include literature, data or laboratory-based projects, depending on research interests.

Successful completion of this MSc course can lead to a range of exciting career and research opportunities including careers in biomedical or clinical research, medicine, physician associate, PhD study or teaching.
