A new Masters degree in Biomedical Gerontology is now available at
the University of Manchester's Graduate School of Science,
Engineering and Medicine. The course is full-time for one year and
comprises a taught component and a research project. Currently,
there are no plans for part-time students. The degree programme is
an advanced course in Biomedical Gerontology that will enable
graduate students in Biology, Medicine, Dentistry, and candidates
from other scientific disciplines with a biology background to
obtain specialised training in the field of Biomedical Gerontology.
The students will have a choice of modules, depending on their
qualifications, to pursue their chosen area of study. Since
Biomedical Gerontology is a multidisciplinary field of study
potential researchers will need to study other areas of biology at
a postgraduate level to fully equip them for such broad based
research. The School of Biological Sciences at Manchester has MSc
programmes in Neuroscience, Immunology and Bioinformatics that have
appropriate modules for students doing the Biomedical Gerontology
degree.
This degree will be the ideal starting point for a student about to
embark on a career of biomedical research in this area, but will
also be of benefit to professionals working in health care of the
elderly.
