Course summary
This multifaceted programme builds the knowledge and skills needed to kick-start your career in biomolecular research or a related discipline. Teaching is delivered by experts in the Biochemistry Department, the Centre for Molecular Cell Biology and the Centre for Cell Dynamics at the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences. It will cover research in areas such as chromosome biology, organisation of cells and tissues, bacterial physiology and host-microbe interaction, photosynthesis and plant sciences. You will receive training in state-of-the art technologies and the latest theory in molecular cell biology, fluorescence imaging, protein production and analysis, structural biology, data processing, and other techniques used by modern biomolecular scientists. This wide range of techniques, along with the extensive research project, will allow you to build a substantial portfolio of experimental skills and thereby tackle more elaborate research projects with increased confidence. You will study how to critically appraise published research and carry out a piece of original research. This course will therefore be a great preparation for a PhD project and for moving into industrial and academic research.
