MSc Molecular Biotechnology: University of the West of England

Introduction

Molecular Biotechnology is the leading-edge science of manipulating genes and transferring them between organisms in order to produce useful products or commercial processes. Although biotechnology has been around as a science for many years, recent key developments in the fields of genomic and proteomic science have led to an increasing interest in the field of molecular biotechnology.

Features of this course include:

• taught modules covering genomics, proteomics, biotechnology and bioinformatics
• practical course designed to enable you to acquire key laboratory skills in molecular biotechnology
• critical design and analysis of research
• an independent research project which represents one third of the MSc, and is carried out in the Bristol Genomics Research Institute
