Biomolecular and Biomedical Sciences
The MSc Biomolecular and Biomedical Sciences programme provides you with the opportunity to study academically challenging and vocationally relevant subjects, while gaining important practical skills and exposure to the rigour and demands of scientific investigation. You will develop your laboratory skills as part of a highly respected department that is active in research.
The programme has a wide-ranging curriculum dealing with mechanisms of disease development, including the cell and molecular biology of these processes, as well as the pathophysiology and molecular aspects of medicine.
The development of laboratory skills is also a key component of the course and an emphasis
is placed on laboratory-based practical classes, for example, in the Biomolecular Studies,
Biomolecular Microbiology and Research Project modules.
