Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (SLQF 10)

About this course

The Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences is an SLQF Level 10 postgraduate programme from the Department of Postgraduate Studies at CINEC Campus. It is part-time and lasts two years: one year of coursework and one year of research. The first semester is compulsory and covers genome and human genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, research methodology and ethics in biomedical sciences. In the second semester students choose one of three streams: molecular medicine, molecular diagnostics, or microbiology and clinical immunology, each with a workplace-based learning module. The second year is a research project worth 30 credits. CINEC says the programme builds laboratory management skills alongside developments such as genomics and stem cell technology, and lists biomedical scientist, medicine technologist, academic lecturer and molecular biologist roles.
