MA/MS in Biomolecular Sciences

This MSc in Biomolecular Sciences looks at the molecular basis of everyday health problems such as cancer, antibiotic resistance, and issues around food production. It addresses challenges facing the life sciences, including an ageing population that makes it ever more necessary to understand and treat disorders linked to age, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, the spread of broad antibiotic resistance in bacteria that requires new antibacterial drugs, and emerging risks linked to industrialised food production. The programme treats a solid grasp of the molecular basis behind cellular processes as essential for any safe, effective intervention, and it increasingly draws in elements of technology. It aims to prepare graduates for careers within the international life sciences research community.
