The Cardiovascular Sciences MSc offers an advanced theoretical and practical foundation in cardiovascular research. You will be taught by academic and clinical specialists who actively research the mechanisms that underlie human cardiovascular disease. This course is designed for biomedical science and medically qualified graduates who wish to pursue further academic studies or employment in a research environment.

Key benefits

  • Research-led study programme that is hosted within a leading British Heart Foundation funded cardiovascular Centre of Research Excellence.
  • Lectures delivered by experienced multi- disciplinary researchers on contemporary issues.
  • A highly successful study course that offers entry into a research career, with two-thirds of graduates progressing to a PhD, MD or specialist cardiology training.
  • Join a research team, supervised by one of our specialists, then report on your findings for your 60-credit project.
  • For each subject, you'll learn from top academics, hear from leading professionals working in the field and visit a clinic to see the practice for yourself.

“The MSc was a great choice. I gained insight into the Cardiovascular system, the research techniques used in this field and, most importantly, gained a critical insight into the issues faced by researchers. I experienced amazing teaching on this course with well-chosen and organised modules”
