M.SC BIOTECHNOLOGY
The field of biotechnology has been revolutionised in the past ten years by advances in molecular biology, genome sequencing and large scale-omics profiling (including proteomics) as well as the ability to manipulate genomes via genetic modification and genome editing tools.
During your studies, you will explore global challenges of population growth, increased life expectancy, antibiotic resistance, sustainable agriculture and the demand for food and fuel.
Available with full and part-time study routes, the programme is designed to develop the analytical techniques and problem-solving skills necessary for postgraduate-level employment in the biotechnology sector.
You will:
- Develop the skills needed to address some of the major challenges facing the world today
- Learn how genetic modification and genome editing contribute to both medical and commercial research
- Learn genome editing technology (CRISPR) and the possibility of adjusting the genome to achieve desired goals
