The biosciences are a wide and incredibly interesting area – this course provides an in-depth education in the biochemical, molecular, genetic and cellular activities of microorganisms and the human body, some of which is at the forefront of Biosciences.
With an emphasis on the applied aspects of the subject area, the course integrates technical, practical, problem solving and career relevant aspects. Technical competence is an essential component of the award; hence students are provided with ample opportunity to undertake hands-on experiments and exercises, including computer-based activities, which not only underpin theory, but also deliver technical training.
HND Applied Biosciences course also aims to enable students to:
Develop in-depth knowledge and critical understanding of Applied Biosciences facts and theories, alongside the techniques and competence in advanced experimental methods
Critically appraise a range of established techniques to gather, interpret and critically analyse data, formulate arguments and make sound judgements, in accordance with the facts and theories, and propose solutions to problems As well as applying these concepts and principles outside the context in which they were first studied, including, an employment context
Effectively use communication techniques to communicate information, arguments and analysis in a variety of forms to specialist and non-specialist audiences and utilise key Applied Biosciences techniques effectively
Utilise the above qualities and transferable skills in decision-making, and the continued training, to further develop and acquire new skills and competences, to enable them to assume significant responsibility within organisations
