Master of Science - Biotechnology

Program Description

Students will take six taught but research-focused modules that aim to equip them with key theoretical and practical skills, and introduce them to examples of current and future applications of biotechnology. Students will then select a laboratory-based research topic that interests them with a supervisor of their choice. In certain cases this may involve collaboration with industrial partners.

The emphasis in the course will be on applied biotechnology and problem-solving and will therefore involve the development of key skills that are in demand in the biotechnology sector. Consequently, upon successful completion of the course, graduates will not only be equipped for a future career in academic research but also in various biotechnology industries.
