Programme overview
This innovative distance-learning programme is taught via the internet and will provide you with knowledge and understanding in the highly topical and exciting field of stem cell biology and regeneration. You will be guided from the origins of this field through to its application (and potential applications) in treating human disease, covering the latest tools and technologies available for study in this area. Programme content is delivered by researchers active in the field, ensuring that the very latest breakthroughs are communicated.
Using a creative distance-learning model, the programme delivers lectures, online discussions and assessments over the internet.
