46 Master's degrees offered by the university

Infection Biology (with Specialisms)
The Infection Biology (with Specialisms) programme of the University of Glasgow will help you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which bacteria, viruses and parasites cause disease in humans and in domesticated animals, and the immune responses generated as a result.

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology programme of the University of Glasgow teaches skills desired by modern industry for scientists and engineers doing research, development and production in nanoscience and nanofabrication. This multidisciplinary programme complements backgrounds in electronics, materials science, or physics.

Chemistry
The research in the Chemistry programme at the University of Glasgow provides an excellent foundation for any kind of career of scientific leadership in academia and industry.

Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering
The Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering programme at the University of Glasgow has a research division that is home to more than 70 research students working in fields as diverse as atomic force microscopy, quantum sensors, high speed optical devices and atomistic device simulations.

Brain Sciences
The aim of the Brain Sciences programme of the University of Glasgow is to help you gain interdisciplinary knowledge “from molecules to mind” and develop research skills in cognitive brain imaging, fundamental neuroscience and brain disorders.

Virology
The research in the Virology programme of the University of Glasgow is carried out in the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research. Our expertise ranges from molecular virology to in vivo pathogenesis, virus–cell interaction, viral immunology, viral ecology, clinical virology, virus epidemiology, mathematical modelling and bioinformatics.

Physics and Astronomy
The Physics and Astronomy programme of the University of Glasgow covers a wide range of topics, including solar and plasma physics, cosmology and radio astronomy. Much of our research in solar physics concentrates on the theory, diagnostics and observation of solar flares, complementing our work in more general plasma theory and atmospheric plasmas.

Astrophysics
The Astrophysics programme of the University of Glasgow gives you an understanding of the principles and methods of modern astrophysics at a level appropriate for a professional physicist.

Systems Biology
The Systems Biology programme of the University of Glasgow emphasises a multi-level, integrative approach to understanding how living organisms work. With our close links to the polyomics facility, we apply a full range of post-genomic technologies to aid our understanding.

Evolutionary Analysis
The Evolutionary Analysis programme of the University of Glasgow addresses a broad range of fundamental and applied evolutionary problems via the identification and analysis of genetic and phenotypic variability underlying biodiversity at all taxonomic levels, from viruses to vertebrates.

Statistics
The Statistics programme of the University of Glasgow will provide you with knowledge and experience of the principles, theory and practical skills of statistics.

Advanced Statistics
The Advanced Statistics programme of the University of Glasgow will provide you with knowledge and experience of the principles, theory and practical skills of statistics.

Genetic and Genomic Counselling (with Work Placement)
Designed to give you a working knowledge of the principles and practice of Genetic Counselling qualifying you to practice as a Genetic and Genomic Counsellor. The Genetic and Genomic Counselling (with Work Placement) programme of the University of Glasgow is accredited by the UK Genetic Counsellor Registration Board.

Applied Neuropsychology
The Applied Neuropsychology programme of the University of Glasgow focuses on how linguistic research can help solve language-related problems in professional practice and public life.

Bioinformatics
The Bioinformatics programme of the University of Glasgow is an exciting and innovative programme that has recently been revamped. Bioinformatics is a discipline at the interface between biology, computing and statistics and is used in organismal biology, molecular biology and biomedicine.

Cardiovascular Sciences
The aim of the Cardiovascular Sciences programme of the University of Glasgow 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.

Medical Genetics and Genomics
The aim of the Medical Genetics and Genomics programme of the University of Glasgow is to provide you with a working knowledge of the principles and practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics allowing you to evaluate, choose and interpret appropriate genetic investigations for individuals and families with genetic disease

Sensor and Imaging Systems
The Sensor and Imaging Systems programme of the University of Glasgow focuses on the technologies and techniques that underpin a vast range of societal, research and industrial needs. It is delivered and awarded jointly by the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Molecular Pharmacology
The research in the Molecular Pharmacology programme of the University of Glasgow is focused on the structure and function of GPCRs and understanding the signalling pathways that are important for different physiological and pathophysiological responses.

Quantum Technology
The Quantum Technology programme of the University of Glasgow will provide training in the emerging area of quantum technologies, giving students advanced training in the relevant physics and engineering, while acquiring key skills in micro/nanofabrication. This MSc is underpinned by Glasgow leadership in the UK’s Quantum Technology programme.
