Course Details

The modules on this MSc Applied Bioscience will enable you to develop skills in molecular cell biology, biomedical genetics and specialised topics in medical diagnostics.

To underpin the techniques and laboratory work taught on the course you’ll first gain an essential understanding of genetics and bioinformatics. The emphasis will be on the human genome project and link with experts from local biotechnology businesses such as the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

A laboratory-based module will give you hands-on experience in molecular and cellular techniques used in applied bioscience, including DNA analysis, microbiology and cell culture.

We’ll support you to gain the employability and communication skills needed for a career in applied bioscience research or industry, while a module on research methods will help you to define an area of study that will form the basis for your Masters Research Project. This is your opportunity to undertake independent research into a topic in which you can develop a significant level of expertise.

Modules are subject to change and availability.
