BSc (Hons) Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology involves the study of biology at the molecular level, providing an insight into the building blocks of life itself.DNA carries the hereditary information that determines the structures of proteins. It contains through which cells are instructed to grow and divide, to differentiate into specialized cells thereby generating the millions of different life forms that exist.The university has excellent research facilities for molecular biology enabling students to experience key techniques for example, PCR and bioinformatics.

This programme gives you flexibility in your studies at university resulting in flexibility in your choice of career at the end of your course. You will acquire a much broader base of knowledge and experience that could really widen your employment opportunities. Graduates have found employment in diverse roles such as computer programmers, design engineers, management development specialists, accountants and project managers. 75% or our students have gone on to work or study after graduation (Unistats, 2013).
