About this course
The course aims to enable understudies to: Demonstrate in depth knowledge and understanding of human genome structure and organisation and the molecular regulation mechanisms of gene expression
Demonstrate in depth knowledge and understanding of the roles of molecular genetics in cellular homeostasis, cellular differentiation and development of 'genetic' human diseases
Demonstrate in depth knowledge and understanding of the application of molecular genetics in clinical disease diagnosis and prognosis
The 21st century post genomics era offers a wide range of job opportunities in the agricultural, medical, pharmaceutical, aquaculture, forensics and environmental science areas. The rapidly developing economies of China and India in particular have recognised the enormous opportunities offered by Biotechnology. Job openings in sales and marketing with companies who have a science base are also common. Some graduates will also choose to extend their knowledge base by undertaking PhD programmes in relevant areas.
The normal requirement would be for a student to have a 2(ii) Honours undergraduate degree in an appropriate Biological Science subject. Applications from mature students, without formal qualifications, but with relevant industrial, commercial, research or other experience will be considered. Applicants from overseas must, in addition, demonstrate competence in English to an acceptable level as outlined below:
TOEFL: minimum score of 560 with a TWE written score of 4 or
