You will explore molecular biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes and look at how genomes are mutated, analysed and manipulated in the detection, study and therapy of disease.You will also explore a range of current topics and their application to macromolecular analysis in this Molecular Biology postgraduate degree. This course is particularly relevant if you: are a recently qualified undergraduate and are looking for the professional skills needed to obtain a job in a bioscience company, are working in an organisation and want a Masters-level qualification to give you a competitive edge, require the skills and experience needed to study for a research degree, are an international student who would like to study abroad, would like the chance for extended research work in the lab of an experienced research academic.The MRes courses are divided into taught elements (60 credit points) and a laboratory-based research project (120 credit points). You will complete the extended research project in one of our highly rated research teams. The vast majority of students from this Molecular Biology Masters course progress onto relevant employment within their chosen field or study for a PhD. This is because they are able to develop extensive knowledge of their subject area as well as vital research skills. This knowledge is further enhanced by the research project which students can develop in their area of interest.
