This course is designed for students looking to advance their practical laboratory skills in the fast-moving field of molecular biology and biotechnology. Through practical research training, we’ll help you to build on your undergraduate foundational knowledge, preparing you for your next steps as a researcher.
Practical laboratory experience is at the heart of our teaching, with more than half of your studies taking place in the lab. Here you’ll complete training modules covering a wide range of advanced techniques that are used in the modern biotechnology sector. You'll learn core skills such as CRISPR genome editing, molecular cloning, organism handling, DNA sequence analysis, PCR, SDS-PAGE and western blotting. Alongside this, you’ll undertake dedicated research skills training in scientific writing, statistical analysis, and how to critically appraise scientific literature.
Lectures and seminars will support your practical learning, giving you an understanding of the latest scientific breakthroughs. Topics you’ll cover include the drug discovery process, featuring guest speakers from industry, and how translational biotechnology applications are fusing fundamental molecular mechanisms with emerging technologies.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject with relevant modules.
We may also consider your application if you do not meet the standard academic requirements but you have relevant professional experience.
