About The Course

About the course

Haematologists specialise in disorders of the blood and blood-forming tissues, and their contribution to patient care is fundamental and wide-ranging. Whether you’re analysing data from patients’ samples, matching donated blood with someone who needs a transfusion or researching cures for blood cancers, your work will improve and save countless lives.

If you’re currently working in haematology, this master’s degree will help you progress to a more senior position. You might also wish to explore your options in research or academia, or even complete further study at a doctoral level.

Our courses have a strong international reputation and the University’s strong links with London hospitals and NHS Laboratories ensures that you will be studying the latest developments, practices and research. Our Centre for Investigative and Diagnostic Oncology has pioneered techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment, and the Haematology department is very active in research into blood cancers, HIV and AIDS.

This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills for a range of roles such as management, consultancy, lab supervision, or in international roles within hospitals, schools and universities. There are also opportunities in diagnostic laboratories within both the public and private sectors.

Accreditations

This degree is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). Accreditation is a recognition that it will provide qualified biomedical scientists, who are specialist practitioners or intend to specialise with advanced knowledge and skills required for clinical practice.

What you will gain

The Biomedical Science Haematology and Transfusion Science master’s degree is taught by our experienced academics who have close ties to London hospitals and NHS Laboratories.

You’ll learn about cutting-edge advancements, techniques, and research, and have the chance to tour nearby labs in London.
