爱丁堡大学 · 合成生物学与生物技术理学硕士 硕士

📖 项目简介

Synthetic biology, also referred to as engineering biology, is a multidisciplinary area that seeks to provide novel solutions for medicine, manufacturing and agriculture, by creating new biological components and systems.

Synthetic biology strives to make the engineering of biology easier and more predictable by applying key engineering principles to biology, such as standardisation and modularisation, thereby accelerating the creation of novel products, services and industries.

Our Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology MSc is a fast-paced and dynamic programme of study. Your studies will draw on the latest research in the fields of synthetic biology, (bio)engineering and biotechnology.

Throughout this programme, you will have the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for developing innovative solutions and tackling the pressing global challenges we are facing, such as:

• rapidly changing human demographics and resulting health pressures
• growing demand for more and healthier food
• resource shortages
• sustainable fuel transition and a cleaner environment

You will be encouraged to engage with academic experts from different disciplines, as well as industry experts, who contribute to discussions and provide guest lectures. You will also engage in practical learning, participate in group activities and offer your critical analysis of the topics.

We aim to equip graduates with the skills required for further education and research, and for employment in the growing synthetic biology sector and other related industries.

✨ 项目特色

• Develop interdisciplinary skills, learning from experts from different fields including biology, engineering, chemistry and medical and social sciences. We are one of the largest concentrations of biologists in the UK.
• Benefit from training in some of the newest and leading areas of biology.
• Tailor your learning to suit your background and areas of interest.
• Gain postgraduate level scientific and experimental skills, suitable for PhD research and beyond; entrepreneurial skills training for future synthetic biology and biotechnology leaders; and transferable skills suitable for R&D or project management careers in industry.
• Get involved with our research during your dissertation. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework 94% of our research activity was classed as ‘world leading’ and 'internationally excellent'.
• Take opportunities to engage with industry professionals, and potentially undertake an industrial research project.

It was a wonderful experience and greatly helped me in deciding what to focus on in the future. It allowed me to cultivate a passion for the crop improvement side of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology, which is now what I would like to further specialise in. The Masters programme prepared me very well for this path - through the Masters project and also through the various courses that invited us to show our creativity and to ‘design with life’, which are skills at the core of crop improvement.
