Taught and Research Masters Programmes

in a wide range of subject areas

Our courses are delivered in several ways, including campus-based, distance/e-based, blended, or work based learning.

Available Programmes

Masters programmes, which may be undertaken on a full or part-time basis, are currently available in the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences, and the Division of Health Research. These courses are complete in themselves, but may also be used as a valuable stepping stone to PhD study. Part-time work based Masters programmes are available from CETAD - the specialist work based learning centre within the Faculty.

In the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences, two taught Masters schemes are available. An MSc in Biomedicine and an MSc in Medical Biotechnology and Leadership. A Masters by Research in Biomedical Sciences is also available.

The Division of Health Research offers a Masters in Hospice Leadership (with the Lancaster University Management School).

Lancaster Medical School offers a MSc (by Research) in Medical Sciences.

CETAD offers part time taught Postgraduate Certificates, Postgraduate Diplomas and Masters Degrees. We also offer a Negotiated Work Based Learning route which enables you to design your own postgraduate programme of study.
