MSc Genetic Manipulation and Molecular Cell Biology: University of Sussex

About the programme

Most biological disciplines now rely on analyses at the molecular level, and the use of molecular biology to manipulate genes and proteins. This popular MSc provides detailed training in current approaches to molecular biology, including fields such as proteomics and functional genomics that have arisen as a result of genome-sequencing projects.

The programme concentrates on experimental techniques and their applications, not only in pure scientific research, but also in medicine, agriculture and other biotechnology industries.

Career opportunity

Sussex Genetic Manipulation and Molecular Cell Biology graduates have gone on to write for scientific journals and gained roles such as ecological appraisal officer for the Environment Agency.

The MSc in Imaging in Biomedical Research is designed for graduates who are preparing for careers in industrial, clinical or academic research.
