CELL AND TISSUE ENGINEERING - BSC (HONS)

Over the three years of the BSc in Cell and Tissue Engineering programme, you will create a solid foundation in biomedical disciplines that will allow you to understand the innovative approaches to treatment and diagnosis that take into consideration genetic variations of a patient, environment and lifestyle.

You will learn the fundamentals of stem cell biology, biomaterials, tissue engineering and nanotechnology and work in the laboratory to experience the discovery potentials of high throughput sequencing, 3D-bioprinting, bioreactor and genome editing technologies; cutting-edge tools that are assisting in the significant acceleration of the biological research and transformation of medicine. You will also have elective credits to be chosen across the three years of study to broaden your interest and interdisciplinarity.

Job Opportunity Potential

96% of Keele graduates were in a job or further study within six months of graduating (DLHE, 2017)

On a global scale, the field of cells and tissue engineering seems poised for some rapid advances that may transform treatment and diagnostic approaches. By creating this specialised workforce that will respond to the future demands for alternative regenerative drugs, this course is valuable to students wishing to enter the biotechnology, pharmaceutical or regenerative medicine sectors or to progress into specialist clinical training.

The course is also ideal to students that wish to continue their studies and register for a PhD.

Regardless of which career you pursue after Keele, employers will want evidence of the range of skills and personal qualities you possess and which are required for the job. Your degree is clearly important in this respect but don’t forget the extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility, jobs and voluntary work you may have been engaged in while studying at Keele. These activities allow you to demonstrate the skills and personal qualities required by employers and will be vital in your attempts to secure graduate employment.

It is estimated that 60% of jobs are open to graduates of any discipline. This demonstrates the flexibility of many graduate employers when setting out their academic requirements and that students are not necessarily restricted to careers related to their degree.
