Course description

Lead academics: Professor Mimoun Azzouz and Professor Janine Kirby

This course is designed to give you knowledge and training in a cutting-edge area of science, which you can apply to a wide range of roles in a growing industry. Whether you are a recent graduate or are already working in the field of cell and gene therapies, there are a range of qualifications and part-time options available, designed to support your studies.

You can study the genetics behind rare inherited diseases, and how cell and gene therapies provide treatment options that can be tailored to individual patients. In the laboratory, you can explore a range of topics and techniques in molecular and cellular biology. You can also learn how scientists work with industry to translate discoveries into marketable healthcare products, with module content covering topics such as manufacturing, quality control, regulation, safety and clinical trials.

As an Advanced Cell and Gene Therapies student, you will learn from the experts who run our Gene Therapy Innovation and Manufacturing Centre (GTIMC) . Researchers at this multi-million-pound facility are working to accelerate the development of gene therapies into life-changing treatments. The Sheffield team works with pharmaceutical companies and other organisations in an expanding global gene therapy network, which creates unique learning opportunities throughout the degree. Some of our collaborators give lectures, and MSc and PGDip students may have the opportunity to be part of a project with one of our industry partners during a 20-week research project.

You will be based within the Sheffield Institute of Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) – an internationally recognised centre of excellence, where top researchers are working on groundbreaking treatments to improve the lives of patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

We accept medical students who wish to intercalate their studies. Find out more on the School of Medicine and Population Health  website.

The Innovation Hubs for Gene Therapies network offers bursaries for home fee-paying students on our MSc Advanced Cell and Gene Therapies course.

Find out if you're eligible

Book a 15-minute online meeting with our course tutor to find out more information and ask further questions.

Book an appointment with Janine Kirby

An open day gives you the best opportunity to hear first-hand from our current students and staff about our courses.

You may also be able to pre-book a department visit as part of a campus tour. Open days and campus tours

MSc: 1 year full-time

PGDip or PGCert: 1 year, or part-time over 2 years

You will learn through lectures by academics and industry experts, seminars, tutorials, student-led group work, practical sessions, and research placements in clinical, regulatory and industry settings. You may also have the opportunity to attend a gene and cell therapies conference.

You will be assessed through written assignments, coursework, short answer exams, posters, presentations and blogs. The research project is assessed by a dissertation and presentation.

Your career

Cell and gene therapies are a growing field, and there is a high demand for graduates with the specialist knowledge and skills this course provides. Potential employers include universities and research institutes where scientists are studying cell and gene therapies, organisations in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries that are developing, manufacturing and trialling new treatments, and the government bodies that regulate medical products. The MSc course is also great preparation for a PhD.

Our PGDip, PGCert and part-time options can support the professional development of people who are already working in cell and gene therapies. 

Student profiles

The bursary has helped me to study and focus on my work without having to worry about my finances

Rhiannon, who was the recipient of an Innovation Hubs for Gene Therapies bursary, says that she chose to study in Sheffield because of the high-quality research put out by the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN).

I can’t say what I enjoyed most about the course; there are so many options

Maria-Lorena discovered the Advanced Cell and Gene Therapies course during her undergraduate studies and says that she stayed in Sheffield because it felt like a second home to her.

Entry requirements

You'll need at least a 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant science, engineering, law or medical subject.

A 2:2 degree may be acceptable depending on an interview and assessment of your previous experience in areas related to the course.

You can apply now using our Postgraduate Online Application Form. It's a quick and easy process.
