About this course
This exciting MSc Molecular Biology and Biotechnology programme provides training for bioscience graduates to develop confidence and independence in their practical skills and knowledge relevant to careers in this area. Successful graduates will be ready to undertake further study at PhD level or to enter employment in the biotechnology sector.
You’ll learn essential practical skills, study the relevant theory in the Departments of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and Chemical and Biological Engineering, and carry out an individual research project, in which you’ll learn how to design and conduct research, keep records and present the research in different styles.
A 2:1 degree or equivalent university qualification in molecular biology or a related subject (eg biochemistry, genetics, biotechnology, and microbiology). We also accept medical students who wish to intercalate their studies.
Candidates with professional experience may also be considered following interview.
