Innovative Masters for Biologists and Life Scientists
The UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences offers a number of ways for scientists from across the world to expand their career opportunities through their skills in exciting growth areas. We offer 11 Masters Programmes relevant to those interested in biology & life sciences, providing a wide choice for those looking to further their careers in science.
Leadership in Science
At UCL, we are at the very forefront of medical science discovery and innovation – the design, development and clinical application of novel biomedical technologies and therapeutic interventions is at the heart of our research mission. One of the many reasons UCL is Number 1 for Medicine in London and Number 1 in Europe for Medical Technology.
We are constantly striving for innovative approaches to treatment that reduces the need for burdensome, invasive surgery. Treatment that is highly effective, yet targeted to the individual patient’s healthcare needs. Treatment that goes beyond the boundaries of conventional wisdom and rests at the cutting-edge of human ingenuity.
As a world leader in medical and biomedical research we are able to see first-hand the directions in which medicine and science are moving and where patient and industry needs are growing. This knowledge ensures that we are producing and teaching some of the most innovative masters in science courses for professionals across the world. Additionally, our cutting-edge research expertise ensures that the latest techniques are taught using the most advanced equipment. Finally, we offer innovative master's courses led by world-leading experts, providing a truly research-based learning experience delivered by some of the greatest minds in science and medicine today.
