About

About the course

This course gives you an advanced understanding of molecular and computational biologies as well as the microbiological techniques at the forefront of technological developments in the field. It opens the door to a career in the biotechnology and allied industries.

Modern biotechnology is a hugely complex subject drawing from a range of fields and technologies. On this course you learn the latest new technologies in key areas; gain insights into how they are used in the global biotechnology industry; and discover how microbes can be used on an industrial scale to benefit humankind.

You also hone your research skills with a laboratory-based project in one of five taught areas: molecular biology; computational biology; applied microbiology; analytical biology; and biomaterials.

Why choose this course?

Study the latest developments in applied microbiology and computational biology in high-quality broad-based classes taught by dedicated staff with research experience in specialist subject areas
Explore the latest technologies in molecular biology and the industrial processes that are used to exploit microbes for specific products and applications
Develop the ability to use information from relevant sources and independently and critically evaluate current research and advanced scholarship
Gain the ability to use assured accurate and fluent language to present your work and learn to develop graphs and images that clearly illustrate complex points
Benefit from a wide knowledge base and the key transferable skills that will give you the opportunity to take your career to new heights
Take the part-time pathway option to better fit study around your work and family commitments

This integrated four-year MSc includes an intermediate BSc (Hons) in Bioengineering. It is designed to give you an in-depth understanding of the role of bioengineering in the health food and environmental sectors.

The rapidly growing field of bioengineering applies the principles of design modularisation and analysis to the development of biomedical technologies devices and systems. This course provides you with a thorough understanding of bioengineering as well as related biochemical and biophysical sciences giving you opportunities to gain the practical techniques and skills you need to work in the bioengineering field.

To start with you build your knowledge of living systems through the study of core units in human anatomy and physiology; microbiology and biochemistry; chemistry; and molecular genetics. As you advance in your studies you explore a range of life sciences and technologies relevant to bioengineering considering their application in regional national and global contexts. This may include how bioengineering is applied in areas such as biomaterials and tissue engineering; the development of new medical and imaging devices; portable diagnostic technologies; or monitoring systems for food and environmental quality.

Why choose this course?

Explore current and emerging areas of bioengineering such as genetic engineering synthetic biology and cell factories to produce bioactive molecules for pharma-biotech use
Work with our expert Life Sciences team all of whom are actively involved in research
Benefit from access to the high-spec science facilities in our STEM building including state-of-the-art laboratories
Build your research skills with a novel advanced bioengineering research project
Work closely with industry representatives and gain valuable work experience through our Life Sciences Liaison Board which has strong links to a network of organisations including government regulatory agencies and the health sector
When you graduate choose from a number of career paths including government agencies; industry; research and development; and higher education institutions
