Start: October 2017, Oxford, United Kingdom.
Oxford’s new MSc in Nanotechnology for Medicine and Health Care builds on the world-leading research in nanomedicine at the University’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering and other departments in the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division and Medical Sciences Division. This advanced modular course is delivered by leading scientists and experts in this rapidly developing field and has been specifically designed for those who would value a part-time modular learning structure, for example those in full-time employment, both in the UK and overseas.
The MSc in Nanotechnology for Medicine and Health Care is a part-time course consisting of six modules and a research project and associated dissertation. The programme is normally completed in two to three years. Students are full members of the University of Oxford and are matriculated as members of an Oxford college.
The course comprises:
- three online modules giving a thorough introduction to the fundamental science of nanotechnology and the behaviour and characterisation of nanoscale materials
- three five-day modules taught face-to-face in Oxford explaining the scientific, regulatory, clinical and commercial aspects of the application of nanotechnology to medicine and healthcare
- an original research project of approximately 18 weeks to be written up as a dissertation
Programme modules:
- Module 1: The Wider Context of Nanotechnology (16 October to 1 December 2017, online)
- Module 2: The Fundamental Science of Nanotechnology (8 January to 16 March 2018, online)
- Module 3: Fundamental Characterisation for Nanotechnology (23 April to 29 June 2018, online, with two-day component in Oxford)
- Module 4: Introduction to Bionanotechnology (9 to 13 October 2017, in Oxford)
- Module 5: Nanomedicine – Science and Applications (19 to 23 March 2018, in Oxford)
- Module 6: Clinical Translation and Commercialisation of Nanomedicine (3 to 7 July 2017, in Oxford)
Who is it for?
The University of Oxford MSc in Nanotechnology for Medicine and Health Care is a part-time, modular course leading to a postgraduate qualification at the University of Oxford. The course is designed for students wishing to study part-time. It will appeal to those working in the commercial, research or healthcare sectors who use or develop nanotechnology in their work. Applications are welcome from biomedical engineers, materials scientists, biotech-entrepreneurs, medical practitioners, chemists, pharmacists, electrical engineers, project managers in related industries, patent agents, legislators, as well as those involved in commercial or academic research in this area of science.
