The different global crises that the world is facing are interconnected, and many are determined by the way that we have used the earth’s resources, and prioritised development and growth. ‘Planetary Health’ is a new field of study which examines these factors and their consequences, and looks at ways in which redesigning, connecting and leveraging the interdependent health, environment and economic systems could offer new global solutions. The challenge is how we can do this in a socially, economically and environmentally empathetic manner. This interdisciplinary MSc programme has been developed with expertise from across the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science and the College of Science and Engineering.

This programme provides veterinarians with the skills, knowledge and global networks required to become effective practitioners of Conservation Medicine.

Clinical Anatomy is a core component of undergraduate medical degree programs and programs allied to medicine such as radiography and physiotherapy. However, the relative amount of anatomy taught in these programs is considerably less than in years gone by, and there are limited opportunities across the UK (and further afield) for medical and dental students, including those enrolled in the Clinical Anatomy MSc, to gain an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy beyond their core programs.

This Human Anatomy MSc program offers a rare opportunity to learn anatomy from dissection and experience in teaching human anatomy. This is an ideal stepping-stone to a career in anatomy teaching and research. With this highly regarded qualification, you will gain major transferable skills through an intensive on-campus dissection course and develop teaching experience at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Data is revolutionising the way health and social care is delivered. The demand for health and social care professionals with data science skills is unprecedented. This flexible online programme is aimed at people working in health or social care or computational roles who are interested in starting a career in data science and graduates who are seeking to develop data science skills that can be applied to health, social and care services.

Epidemiology is the foundational discipline for understanding and improving population health. Its methods underpin medical research, investigates the causes of disease, and evaluates intervention to prevent or control the disease. This online programme will equip the epidemiological leaders of tomorrow with key foundational knowledge and a portfolio of statistical and data science skills to tackle contemporary challenges.

This one-year, full-time MSc by Research program aims to introduce you to modern, up-to-date molecular and cellular biological research. You will study in a stimulating, challenging, and vibrant research atmosphere, at the interface between basic science and clinical patient care.

The Neuroscience (Integrative Neuroscience) MScR covers all levels of modern neuroscience, including molecular, cellular, systems, regenerative, cognitive, clinical, and computational neuroscience. The hands-on research emphasis allows you to contribute to real-world projects, where you will have the opportunity to engage with more than 120 world-leading Neuroscience groups covering interests from Brain Imaging to Neuroscience.

This Infectious Diseases MScR program is organized by Edinburgh Infectious Diseases (EID), which is hosted by the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine and the College of Science and Engineering. It provides an introduction to research methodology for biologists, medics, and veterinarians. The training also provides an entry into PhD studies.

The aim of this programme is to give you a broad-based training in biomedical research, with a focus on cardiovascular science.

Our MSc by Research in Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Repair is a one-year, full-time, on-campus master's program. The Centre is part of the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR). Our scientists and clinicians study stem cells, disease, and tissue repair to advance human health.

This one-year, full-time Biomedical Sciences (Life Sciences) MScR program provides an excellent grounding for a Ph.D. or another academic study in Biomedical Sciences. You will learn valuable research skills, biomedical laboratory techniques, and a wide range of other transferable skills that will give you an advantage for the rest of your career. You can also choose two themes that best suit your interests and career goals.

This programme will help you to gain knowledge and understanding in the equipment, drugs and techniques associated with anaesthesia and analgesia.

This online programme is jointly offered by The University of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. It covers the UK Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum.

This programme offers cutting edge translational neuroscience focused on stem cells, neurodegenerative diseases, regeneration and models (both animal and cell).
