Nanomedicine is the study of nanotechnology in a healthcare and life science setting, working with matter and machines and the nano scale of 1-100 nanometres (One billionth of a metre). It's the applicational of biotechnology and advanced engineering into medicine.
Our MSc in Nanomedicine will allow you to understand the fundamentals of nanotechnology and its application to healthcare. This quick guide is designed to give you a taste of this world and the exciting avenues our MSc will give you to explore, improving your lab skills and your long-term employability.
Our Student Stories
The long-term NHS plan highlights the pathway to transform service delivery and better meet local health needs. Studying Nanomedicine at Swansea will give you skills and confidence in leadership, management, education and research, three of the four pillars of advanced clinical practice.
Our world-leading researchers and teachers will expose you to fundamentals in Pharmacology, Drug Design, Patient Management, Biosafety in the context of anatomy and physiology, degenerative disease, advanced engineering in the form of diagnostics and imaging.
For successful translation of nanomaterials into clinical application, clear regulatory pathways and test methods are essential for quality, safety and efficacy assessments. A whole spectrum of industry stakeholders have adopted such approaches, clearly aligned with our MSc Nanomedicine curriculum.
The skill sets taught on the course are central to employability prospects in sectors such as Biotech, Medicines Manufacturing, Data Analytics, Contract Research Organisations and the Pharmaceutical Industry.
The Future with Nanomedicines and Nanotechnologies
The principles of Nanomedicine are embedded in current and future clinical practice. All aspects of healthcare provision are reliant on technology, from diagnostics and imaging providing the information crucial to patient management strategies to the technologies that will underpin better drug development and delivery.
Our Nanomedicine MSc will provide an in depth knowledge across the spectrum of Nanomedicine and its role in future healthcare provision, and providing you with the base for future career progression.
