心血管科学理学硕士（医学科学）

预计在未来二十年内，心血管疾病仍将是唯一的主要死亡原因
Cardiovascular disease is projected to remain the single leading cause of death over the next two decades, accountable for considerable disability and reduction in quality of life. The aim of this programme is to deliver teaching related to cardiovascular science and biology with an emphasis on the epidemiology, genetics, pathological and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases and their pharmacological management. <br>The University of Glasgow has a world-renowned reputation for expertise in cardiovascular research and education. Develop an understanding of the cardiovascular system and the epidemiology of CV diseases, as well as the molecular and cellular pathways involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting, in part, the academic and experience requirement for the Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol). Acquire and integrate a knowledge base in many new techniques for research in clinical cardiovascular medicine, including: Gene therapy Genomic, genetic and proteomic studies Novel imaging techniques Risk factor measurements Undertake a research project with an established cardiovascular researcher. These are tailored to suit students' expertise and interests. The Cardiovascular Science degree has a modular based course containing taught elements, tutorial sessions, critical review sessions and practical sessions. Cardiovascular science is a priority area for research funding, in recognition of the fact that new, improved treatments are required and that these can only arise through better understanding of its development. Opportunities exist at Glasgow University to continue to PhD studies. This course is provided by world leading experts in the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre. Research for the MSc in Cardiovascular Sciences is supported by the BHF, MRC, Wellcome Trust, CSO, BBSRC and the European Commission.<br>Successful graduates will emerge equipped with the skills necessary for a career in biomedical/cardiovascular research. Further career opportunities include: Academia, Clinical skills technician (NHS), Commercial industrial research, Imaging support specialist, Lecturer, NHS, PhD training programmes, Publishing companies, Research technician, Trainee clinical scientist (NHS)
