Medical Technology

The Master of Research (MRes) in Medical Technology offered by the University of Strathclyde is a new, one-year, on-line degree providing those involved in the medical technology sector, full training in research in this very important area.

The course will equip students with the basic knowledge and training in medical technology research, and will enable them to apply this knowledge in their own research project. The research project is undertaken in the workplace with full supervision from University of Strathclyde staff, supported by local supervisors.

It is envisaged that this course will appeal to clinicians, scientists and engineers involved in the application, design and manufacture of medical technology, these include - medical doctors, surgeons, nurses, other professionals allied to medicine, life scientists, design and product engineers.

The 2008/2009 course begins in October 2008.

Translational Medicine

Based entirely online, this part-time Programme offered by the University of Edinburgh offers a flexible, modular approach leading to an MSc in Translational Medicine, via Certificate, Diploma and MSc dissertation phases over three years. Students may exit the Programme at Certificate or Diploma level if they wish.

At the end of the Programme, students will be able to envisage the pathway of research and development leading from the innovation of drugs, platform technologies and other medical advances to their clinical application. Essential to this process is input from the interacting societal, regulatory and commercial factors. The Programme will appeal to a broad range of clinicians, scientists, paramedical researchers and regulators in academia, biopharmaceutical, policy and healthcare sectors. For many it will provide an alternative to, or high quality preparation for, an MD or PhD. For others it will provide substantial benefit to their employers.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2008/2009 course which begins in September 2008.
