Program Overview
Students will be provided in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge on a range of topics, reflecting the integrated nature of biomolecular science, such as the importance of macromolecular structure, interactions and function in relation to normal and diseased states as studied in Biochemistry. Advanced Molecular Biology reviews recombinant DNA technology, gene mutation and gene expression in the identification, diagnosis and treatment of human disease.
Learning Outcomes: What will I Study?
In preparation for the scientific project, the principles and practice of qualitative and quantitative analysis of biomolecules as well as research methods and data analysis will be studied.
Two optional pathways (taken alongside core modules) allow students to tailor their degree to areas of interest:
Option 1
provides students with the key concepts of process design relating to biomolecules of industrial importance and the development, manufacturing and marketing of biopharmaceutical products.
In Option 2
the molecular and genetic mechanisms of disease will be explored including practical application of investigative and diagnostic technology.It is important to note that options are offered subject to: (a) the resources available and (b) student numbers requesting the option (there is a requirement for a minimum student registration on a module). In any given year only one of the two optional pathways may be offered.
Study Abroad Opportunities
Opportunities are available for students to undertake their project module in a partner institution within the EU under the Erasmus plus programme.
Program Outline
One Year Course - run over 2 semesters
