MSc
Summary
Examine the role of hormones in regulating life processes and disease. Study a wide range of endocrine disorders, how they affect patients and how they can be treated.
**Course description**
This course focuses on the role of hormones in regulating all key bodily processes. It covers fundamental endocrinology, how this underpins disease processes throughout all stages of life, and how this knowledge can be used to develop treatments.
You will study topics including hormone synthesis, homeostasis and the pathophysiology of endocrine disorders that affect children, young people and adults. Alongside other subjects in endocrinology, diabetes is examined in detail – from its symptoms and complications to effective management strategies – so you can learn how it affects patients throughout their lives. You will also explore the process of testing and developing potential new drugs to treat endocrine disease.
The programme is led by experienced clinicians and scientists specialising in endocrinology and diabetes. You will have the opportunity to join them in clinics and clinical meetings at Sheffield Children’s Hospital and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. A significant part of the degree will be your six-month research project, where you will join one of our research teams to develop your skills in the lab and run your own experiments to test a hypothesis in endocrinology.

| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You'll need at least a 2:1 in a relevant life science undergraduate degree (eg Biochemistry, Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology or a degree in veterinary science or medicine). A 2:2 degree may be acceptable depending on an interview and assessment of your past achievements. Medical students can intercalate after completing three years of their medical degree. We also consider a wide range of international qualifications: Overall IELTS score of 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in each component, or equivalent. |

Summary
Choose your specialism with this course in endocrinology and diabetes for clinicians and scientists. It's a good platform for a career in research or in the clinical or broader field of endocrinology and diabetes.
**Course description**
Our MSc has been designed to cover a breadth of hormonal processes, including hormones synthesis and their regulatory roles. These insights will form the basis to understanding the pathophysiology and management of endocrine conditions and diabetes over the life course.
You’ll be taught by leading clinicians and scientists who'll provide you with a good platform for a research career or a career in the clinical or broader field of endocrinology and diabetes.
Endocrinology and diabetes is a wide-ranging scientific discipline concerned with the hormonal regulation of all key bodily processes and the maintenance of homeostasis. Clinical disease processes can occur from fetal life throughout life to old age. Understanding the science behind these hormonal processes is key to diagnosing and developing effective treatments in humans and other animals.
Through the taught modules you'll develop a solid understanding of the science that underpins endocrinology and diabetes and how it relates to clinical disease entities. You’ll cover the breadth of processes and clinical problems relevant to all areas of endocrinology and diabetes.
You'll also have the opportunity to learn about novel innovations and technological advances in the field and undertake a research project to develop a depth of knowledge in a specialist topic.
The course is structured to provide general as well as subject-specific scientific training and to provide academic and clinical perspectives in the management and treatment of endocrine disorders and diabetes.
