Master of Science - Research in Inflammation and Ageing

The Inflammation and Ageing MSc by Research in the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing will provide students with the necessary skills to contribute to research focusing on finding solutions to a range of chronic inflammation-driven illnesses through a highly collaborative approach with University Hospitals Birmingham.

Students will work amongst the very best researchers to produce original and distinctive world-leading research, with the ultimate goal to identify shared biological mechanisms that define the functional features of chronic inflammatory disease by integrating disease specific expertise.

The MSc by Research program will provide students with high quality research training to enable them to conduct independent investigative research.

Students can choose from a wide range of research areas within Inflammation and Ageing covering:

• Issues of ageing • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) • Long term consequences of major injury • Chronic Inflammation • Dementia • Osteoporosis

Students will work closely with their supervisory team who will help them clarify their project and support their development. Students' thesis will represent an original contribution to knowledge and demonstrate independent judgement.

Please be advised that this programme requires a supervisor.
