Cancers, muscular atrophy and measles. You want to learn how to find the cure to such diseases. Join our aspiring Geneticists and Molecular Biologists that are investigating mechanisms and treatment of life-threatening genetic and infectious diseases. You'll use modern facilities in our five-storey science building to learn key molecular biology techniques. You'll get to do bioinformatics analysis and genetic manipulation in bacteria and cell culture. You'll even have exclusive access to designated IT rooms to use specialised computing software. Learn current developments from experts in the industry. Share your breakthroughs in interpreting complex data. Discuss molecular case studies with peers. The theory we'll teach you is important. But the practical experience you will gain will invaluable. You'll graduate with all the credentials you need to make you desirable in science industries. You'll be eligible to apply for membership of the Royal Society of Biology once you complete your degree. The transferable skills you gain will be applicable in a wide range of jobs. Maybe you want to enter the world of business, education, research or even politics. That's all doable. And to top all of this off, you will get this career stepping-stone from a TEF Gold rated university. One of the best universities for teaching and support. You will be exploring many new areas in this degree. Rest assured, we are with you all the way. You'll have the time of a personal tutor, who can support you in gaining subject-specific exam techniques, scientific writing and data interpretations. We'll show you how to reference and more importantly, how to avoid plagiarism. The more you learn more, the more you'll form specialist interests. You may find you really enjoy chemistry genetics in biochemistry. Or maybe you prefer pharmacology. That's why we give you the chance to experience a range of optional modules before committing to the molecular biology pathway. We believe in flexibility. We will guide you to study what you really love.<br><br>This programme gives you flexibility in your studies at university resulting in flexibility in your choice of career at the end of your course. You will acquire a much broader base of knowledge and experience that could really widen your employment opportunities.
