About this course
This course provides an in-depth understanding of the core principles and methodologies underlying modern bioscience research and its exploitation. It aims to equip graduates with the relevant skills to pursue careers in applied biosciences and biotechnology in the industrial and public sectors in the UK and overseas. It includes both taught and research-based elements encompassing biochemistry, molecular cell biology, systems and synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and entrepreneurship. After completion of compulsory taught modules, you will focus on a specialised dissertation and research projects that are consistent with your interests and career aspirations.
All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree...

Course programme
Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.
You undertake core modules in Biochemistry, Molecular Cell Biology, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Statistics. These are designed to introduce you to the fundamental concepts of modern biology, including cell biology, genomics, proteomics, experimental techniques and data handling.
You also take two advanced modules in applied bioscience and biotechnology that cover topics such as industrial biotechnology, glycotechnology, structural biology, cellular damage, repair and ageing, genes and genomics, infection and immunity, stem cells and regenerative medicine, neurobiology in health and disease, integrative systems biology, and synthetic biology.
In addition, you attend weekly seminars with invited external speakers from industry and the public sector.
In the final term, you undertake a full-time tutored dissertation, followed by a mini-conference. You also undertake a full-time individual project in the research laboratories of the Department, to be written up as a report.
