MSc Medical Engineering (Cell and Tissue Engineering for Regenerative Medicine) at Keele University

Regenerative medicine is reshaping clinical medicine as we know it, uncovering new ways to replace, engineer or regenerate cells, tissues and organs lost or injured due to age, disease, or congenital defects. One of the longest-running courses of its kind in the UK, our MSc builds on our reputation for world-class research as a European Centre for Excellence in tissue engineering. Our multidisciplinary course provides a solid foundation in cell biology, human anatomy, physiology and molecular techniques, introducing you to stem cell/gene therapies, new implants, bio/tissue engineering, biomaterials and other novel technologies in this rapidly evolving and exciting discipline.

Faculty: Faculty of Natural Sciences  |  Department: Bioengineering  |  Duration: 1 year full time, 2 years part time (UK students)  |  Study mode: full-time; part-time  |  Intake: September, January  |  Location: Keele, England, United Kingdom

What you will study

The programme is designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to understand various diseases and disorders with a view to producing drug, cell or gene-based therapies. You’ll cover the full spectrum of activity, from clinical-focused research at the cell-level, right through to biotechnology and engineering, producing the regenerative products of the future.

Career pathways

The global regenerative medicine market size is expected to reach USD 172.15 billion by 2030 in response to the growing demand for novel regenerative therapies, fuelled by advances in cell biology, genomics research and gene-editing technology. Purposefully tracked to the emerging regenerative medicine industry, our MSc Cell and Tissue Engineering programme has been designed to prepare you for an exciting future within a range of medical engineering areas, be that in academic or industrial research, regulation and governance, medical materials, devices, therapeutics sectors, or in the clinical arena that aligns to this field of medicine.
