As a molecular bioengineer, you'll learn how to engineer biological systems to solve challenges in health and wellbeing. Through this course, you will develop the scientific understanding and laboratory expertise of a life scientist with the technical knowledge and problem-solving skills of an engineer. With this unique combination of skills, you will be well placed to address the global challenges of today: health and well-being agenda, personalised medicine, new biomedical technology industries. You will gain a theoretical understanding through lectures, study groups and taught classes. During practical wet and dry labs and activities, you will work on real-world projects in medicine and biology with life-changing potential. You will learn professional standards and understand engineers’ obligations to society, the profession and the environment. You will develop leadership, communication and teamwork skills, and graduate with the ability to become a leader in your chosen field.
