Molecular Biology MSc

Program Description

This master’s course responds to the demand for highly skilled scientists who can identify defects in cellular systems at the nucleic acid level and conduct genetic modification of organisms which allow a greater understanding of cellular function.

  • You will have the opportunity to study a broad range of molecular biology at a theoretical and a practical level.
  • Opportunities to gain hands-on experience of molecular biology techniques, as well as develop a range of transferrable and research skills that will expand your knowledge and may enhance your employment potential.
  • Opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular principles underlying the biology of selected diseases (including inherited cancers) and microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeasts. A core focus will be genome structure, regulation and transfer, and the implications for DNA technology.

On successful completion of this course, you will have knowledge of:

  • The molecular biology of genomes and the implications for DNA technology
  • The production, maintenance and applications of animal and microbial cell cultures, and the use of immunochemical techniques for analysis, in molecular biology
  • The molecular biology of microorganisms and selected diseases

You will be able to:

  • Critically analyse, evaluate and interpret knowledge and practice in molecular biology
  • Collect, analyse and present data using appropriate methods
  • Apply scientific/clinical methods to conducting and management of research
  • Formulate and present a critical argument using a variety of methods (e.g. presentation, essay) that would stand up to critical review and scrutiny in academic and professional settings
  • Design a research study, including demonstrating awareness of safety and ethical issues
  • Conduct an independent research project, including collection, analysis and presentation of data.
