Students will gain comprehensive theoretical and hands-on training across various subjects, highlighting the interdisciplinary approach of biomolecular science. This includes understanding macromolecular structure, interactions, and their roles in both healthy and disease conditions, as covered in Biochemistry. The Advanced Molecular Biology component examines recombinant DNA techniques, genetic mutations, and gene regulation for detecting, diagnosing, and treating human illnesses.
To prepare for scientific research projects, learners will explore qualitative and quantitative biomolecule analysis techniques, along with research methodologies and data interpretation.
Two specialized tracks (taken alongside required courses) enable students to customize their degree based on personal interests:
Pathway 1 focuses on industrial-scale biomolecule process design, plus the creation, production, and commercialization of biopharmaceuticals.
Pathway 2 delves into disease mechanisms at molecular and genetic levels, including hands-on training with modern investigative and diagnostic tools.
Students should have an appropriate BSc Ordinary Degree (Level 7) or equivalent in Biological Sciences or Biomedical Sciences with a Distinction or Merit Upper Division Graduate or a BSc general degree with the equivalent 60% or greater. In the studies previously undertaken by applicants, biochemistry, molecular biology and immunology must constitute major subjects in the programme curriculum.
