Sports and Biomedical Science
Sports, exercise and Biomedical Sciences have applications in a wide range of health and performance related disciplines. This course is useful for students, non-standard entrants and fitness professionals and sports coaches, which cover various aspects of biological and biomedical sciences. In each of these areas, courses are offered at postgraduate level, including MSc, MPhil and PhD.
MSc Cryobiology
(Cryopreservation and Conservation)
Cryobiology studies the effects of low temperatures and freezing of cells, tissues and organisms. These effects have great importance in many areas of biology including plant and animal science, entomology, microbiology, medical sciences, veterinary medicine and food science.
This course is designed to provide a sound theoretical and practical education and training in cryobiology. Moreover it will be beneficial to students who are interested to do research in related disciplines. The course curriculum includes theoretical aspects of cryobiology, cryopreservation and conservation, including practical and research methodologies, biomedical applications and conservation of biodiversity.
In UK Students will have access to excellent laboratories, comprehensive learning resources and opportunities to study laboratory-based projects at other organizations. It will help them to develop awareness on ethics and health and safety issues pertaining to cryobiology, its applications in biomedicine and the principles of quality assurance. Moreover students will develop an ability to evaluate the roles, benefits and limitations of cryo-banked materials, potential for genetic resource banks and gain an appreciation of the important role of cryopreservation in assisted reproduction.
On successful completion of the MSc Cryobiology (Cryopreservation and Conservation) students will be equipped to undertake work in areas such as tissue and organ transplants, veterinary science, agriculture and aquaculture, assisted reproduction, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and the conservation of endangered species.
