Biotechnology is the application of biology to solve problems and develop novel products, such as therapeutic protein drugs, that enhance human health and society. The purpose of the course is to provide advanced education in biotechnology-related research methods. The main objective of the course is to improve the pool of knowledge and technological skills available to support biotechnology-based industry and research nationally and internationally. In the third semester, students will have the opportunity to undertake their own independent full time research project within one of the research groups in the internationally renowned Biomedical Sciences Research Institute (BMSRI) at Ulster. The BMSRI research covers biomedicine from the molecular to the whole human including disease development, prevention, diagnosis and therapy. The course is primarily designed for those who wish to develop their career in the biosciences, with particular emphasis on biotechnology research and including either academia or bio-pharmaceutical and bio-industries.
Applicants must have gained: (a) second class honours degree or better in a bioscience subject from a university of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, or from a recognised national awarding body, or from an institution of another country which has been recognised as being of an equivalent standard; or an equivalent standard (minimum 50%) (b) provide evidence of competence in written and spoken English (GCSE grade C or equivalent); (c) In exceptional circumstances, where an individual has substantial and significant experiential learning, a portfolio of written evidence demonstrating the meeting of graduate qualities (including subject-specific outcomes, as determined by the Course Committee) may be considered as an alternative entrance route. Evidence used to demonstrate graduate qualities may not be used for exemption against modules within the programme.
