Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Imaging has contributed to some of the most significant advances in biomedicine and healthcare. This one-year MSc will equip you with detailed knowledge of the imaging techniques that are shaping biomedical research and translational medicine around the world. You will develop the skills and research experience needed to progress in this highly sought-after field.
Biomedical imaging is an interdisciplinary field drawing together biology, medicine, physics, and engineering. Essential for the diagnosis of disease and development of novel treatments, it is a rapidly expanding field central to all aspects of biomedical research.
This MSc is run by the UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging, one of the world’s most advanced imaging centres. With access to 11 state-of-the-art imaging technologies, you will gain first-hand experience of the imaging techniques of the future.
The programme focuses on preclinical and translational medical imaging, and the development of imaging technologies to detect, monitor and prevent illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and neurodegeneration.
You will study the principles and application of preclinical and medical imaging techniques, learn to use different imaging modalities to develop and test novel therapies in preclinical models of disease, and explore imaging in translational medicine and clinical trials.
Gaining a deeper understanding of precision and personalised medicine, you will also develop skills in scientific communication to prepare you for a successful career in the field.
During term three, you will undertake your own research-based project using UCL's world-class laboratories and facilities.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in a scientific or medical discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
This programme will deepen your knowledge of a diverse range of medical and biomedical imaging modalities, and you will graduate with the skills needed for roles in imaging or the pharmaceutical industry, or for the next level of research.
Within industry, the HESA surveys show that graduates go on to key positions in companies such as Alliance Medical, Becton Dickinson and Ecolog International.
If you want to advance to further research, you will have the foundation needed for positions at other leading academic institutions with preclinical imaging facilities, including the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, and MIT and NIH in the US.
This MSc also acts as the ideal springboard if you are interested in applying to UCL's EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Medical Imaging.
