CELL AND TISSUE ENGINEERING - BSC (HONS) at Keele University

Our well-established School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering focuses on providing the most up to date training and experience and aims to form graduates and post-graduates who are at the forefront of our professions. Over the three years of the BSc Cell and Tissue Engineering programme, you will create a solid foundation in biomedical disciplines.

You will explore the fundamentals of the biological processes essential to understand the fine relation between stem cells and differentiation, cells and the extracellular environment, tissue structure and function and to explore the critical challenges of cell, tissue and organ regeneration. Thus, the programme will equip you with a transdisciplinary biomedical knowhow, laboratory skills and lexicon that will allow you to work on research, discovery and production of regenerative medicines.

The programme aims to create a specialised workforce that will respond to the future demands for regenerative drugs. You will work in the laboratory to experience the discovery potentials of stem cell differentiation, 3D-bioprinting, bioreactor, genome editing technologies and high throughput sequencing; cutting-edge tools that are assisting in the significant acceleration of the biological research and transformation of medicine.

An intensive 12-week research project in Year 3 will embed you within the vibrant research community of the School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering allowing you to gain knowledge of open questions in regenerative medicine and hands-on experience on novel cell and tissue engineering technologies.

Other key innovative elements of this programme include: novel modules in stem cell biology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in Year 2 and 3 to meet career aspirations of students in bioengineering, year-long laboratory series in Year 1 and 2 to ensure you acquire appropriate laboratory skills and the availability of optional credits in computer science across the three years.
