站在生物科学发展的最前沿。关注人类的生物需求
Be at the forefront of development in the biosciences. Focus on the biological needs of humanity, including the discovery of new medicines to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Taught by the School of Biological Sciences, together with its partner research institutes, you'll work with world leading scientists and benefit from a wealth of research expertise and opportunities. Investigate prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses at the level of DNA and RNA, proteins and other cell molecules. You'll look at microbial gene regulation and expression, cell to cell communication and explore evolution, physiology and metabolism. You'll also examine the virulence of microbes that cause human, animal and plant diseases, as well as the interactions that occur between a disease-causing microorganism and its host. Extend your knowledge in a specialised field of science and boost your career opportunities with a BSc(Hons). You'll complete an intensive one-year programme and gain the advanced theoretical knowledge and skills you need to pursue a scientific career. Develop your skills in research design and implementation, critical thinking, data analysis and scientific communication. You'll take courses worth a total of 120 points, including a 30-point research project for most subjects. The research project will give you practical training in research methods and experience in the process of creating scientific knowledge. It will also set you up with the skills you need to go on to complete a Master's or PhD programme.
