Summary
Join the fight against major human diseases with our MSc Cellular Pathology degree. This masters course offers advanced insight into cellular pathology for both research and clinical careers. You'll study a range of disorders, refine analytical techniques, and deepen your knowledge of histopathology.
This course is ideal for human biology and biomedical science graduates looking to specialise in disease-focused science. It will prepare you to play a key role in improving patient outcomes by accurately diagnosing diseases and informing treatment decisions.
A key highlight is the independent research project, where you’ll investigate a pathology of your choice. Supported by expert staff and using specialist laboratory facilities, you’ll gain hands-on experience and professional-level research skills.
As 15th in the UK for the power of our health and biomedical research (REF 2021), you'll draw on the real-world insights of an expert teaching team who is driving progress at the cutting edge of the field.

Summary
Investigating disease at a cellular level means joining the fight against some of the most serious disorders afflicting humans. We’ve designed our MSc Cellular Pathology degree to enable you to develop an advanced understanding of cellular pathology that you’ll need in a research or clinical context.
You’ll cover a range of different areas – exploring disorders, developing analytical techniques and getting to grips with histopathology.
You’ll also complete an independent research project, building professional-level research skills. This is your opportunity to explore the pathologies that fascinate you most by making the most of our extensive links with hospitals across Greater Manchester to conduct research in a real-world context.
Throughout the masters, you will have the support of an expert team and access to specialist, in-house laboratory facilities at the University.
Our course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) which means our teaching is of a high standard and provides wide-ranging, research-informed education to ensure you develop the practical skills and experience that employers value.
