This course will focus on developing laboratory-based research skills in a biotechnological area of each students' choice, while equipping them for a future academic or industry-based career. Lecturers have specialist knowledge and research experience in human, animal, plant and microbial biotechnology, and students will also be taught by visiting lecturers from academia and local biotechnology industries who are leaders in their respective fields.
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.
