Course summary
About the course
This two-year course gives you an advanced understanding of molecular biology, computational biology and microbiology alongside teaching you valuable IT skills in data analytics that you can apply to solving real-world problems.
Modern biotechnology is a hugely complex subject, drawing from a range of scientific fields. 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.
The data analytics units are designed for non-computing graduates looking to apply IT in their work. They cover a wide range of topics including programming; databases; security; project management; and computer networking.
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
- Through the data analytics element of the course, be able to apply IT tools and techniques to theoretical and methodological approaches, developing solutions to complex real-world problems
- 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 in the biotechnology and allied industries
