Master in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine MSc

At Aston University, tuition costs 26,800 GBP per year.

At the heart of the programme lies the use of high-tech cell culture laboratories, where you will maintain and expand induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) alongside expert technicians. This MSc provides a bridge between advanced theoretical biology and the practical demands of the modern biotechnology and healthcare sectors.

Designed for ambitious biosciences graduates, clinicians, and health professionals, the curriculum focuses on the transformative nature of regenerative medicine. You will engage in:

• Advanced techniques including live-cell imaging with high-resolution microscopy and flow cytometry.
• Translational science that addresses real-world clinical challenges, from tissue engineering to personalised therapeutic development.
• Professional development embedded through the Aston Global Advantage, ensuring you graduate with both technical expertise and the career-readiness expected by global employers.

Research-Led Learning

The programme is deeply rooted in Aston University’s research excellence, where 100% of health and life sciences research is rated as internationally excellent. You will work directly with research-active academics to design and execute a substantial, independent final research project, allowing you to specialise in your chosen area of interest—whether in drug discovery, genetic manipulation, or biomaterials synthesis.
