About this course


The course aims to enable understudies to: Demonstrate knowledge and conceptual understanding of how the genome is organised.

Demonstrate knowledge of the key biological functions of DNA, RNA and proteins

Demonstrate knowledge in the use of a variety of genetic tools.

Demonstrate competence in performing common molecular biological techniques (pipetting, dilution, setting up enzymatic reactions, polymerase chain reaction, gel electrophoresis, data recording and analysis).

Demonstrate appropriate numerical and report writing skills.

Demonstrate an understanding of Drosophila as a model organism

Demonstrate an understanding of the role of stem cells in tissue repair.

Demonstrate an understanding of the evolutionary history of multicellular organisms


Graduates in Biology with Biotechnology will possess a wealth of skills and knowledge that will be relevant to many employment sectors including hospital laboratories, research organisations, multidisciplinary consultancies, industrial companies, research charities, government departments, agencies, educational establishments, research councils and the private sector.

320 260 points including A Level Biology and preferably at least AS in Chemistry (or equivalent).
Irish Leaving Certificate including Biology at Higher level

Course programme

Year 1 The first year is a general year for all of our biology related degrees to provide you with an important grounding in several important aspects of biology. All of the modules in year one are compulsory. Cellular & Molecular Biology (20): This module will cover the chemistry of life, the molecular basis of inheritance and important aspects of cell biology, such as structure and function. Introduction to Microbiology (10): The module will introduce students to prokaryotic and eukaryotic micro organisms by outlining their characteristics and structures. Research Skills (20): The module is aimed at developing a range of skills commonly used by natural scientists, including basic mathematical manipulation, data interpretation, and presentation, experimental design and statistical analysis, IT skills and effective use of the literature. Organismal Diversity (20): This module will present an overview of basic classification, form and function of the major groups of living organisms. Biology Practicals: Tutorials (degree specific) (10): Tutorials will be held by individual members of staff to groups of 6 7 students and involve discussions that are degree specific. Tutorials will develop communication skills. Year 2 In the second year you will extend and deepen your understanding of Biology with Biotechnology by specialising in microbiology, as well as molecular and cell biology. There are five compulsory modules. You can choose 40 credits of optional modules. Compulsory Modules: Bioscience Skills (20) Human Immunology (20) Medical Microbiology (20) Molecular Biology & Biochemistry (20) Cell Biology (20) Optional Modules: Choose 40 credits from: Evolution & Genetics (20) Invertebrates (20) Genomic Instability and Disease (20) Year 3 The third year includes a dissertation project that may be experimental or take the form of a literature review, which is supervised by a member of staff on a subject to suit your interests. Compulsory Modules: Environmental Microbiology & Biotechnology (20) Dissertation (20) Optional Modules: Choose 80 credits from: Molecular Ecology & Evolution (20) Systematics & Diversity (20) Medical Genetics (10) Bio Enterprise & Employability (20) Attack & Defence in Plants (10) Practical Developmental Biology (20) Year 4 For the Master degree, the fourth year is dedicated to an individual research project (100 credits), accompanied by 20 taught credits including: Advanced Research Skills (20)
