分子生物学是20世纪科学的巨大成功之一。在过去的半个世纪中，它彻底改变了我们对生物学的理解，最终确定了完整的人类基因组序列。分子生物学的最新创新包括基因组工程背后的技术，它将对生物学和医学产生广泛而持久的影响。分子生物学是对细胞和组织各个方面的分子水平的研究，从细菌中的简单系统到植物和哺乳动物中的更复杂的系统。它一方面在治疗细菌和病毒引起的疾病方面取得了巨大成功，另一方面又因先天性遗传错误而取得了成功。分子生物学对于当前了解人类疾病和病理的遗传基础以及改良作物的发展的研究至关重要。该学位为您提供了在工业，
Molecular biology is one of the great successes of 20th century science. It has revolutionised our understanding of biology over the last half-century, culminating in the determination of the complete human genome sequence. Recent innovations in molecular biology include the technology behind genome engineering, which will have broad and lasting impacts on biology and medicine.<br>You will be taught using a variety of methods and styles and we continually seek to make the teaching engaging, exciting and responsive to the latest research in your subject area. The research we carry out in the School directly informs and guides our teaching, particularly in the final Honours year. Our commitment to teaching is recognised by the range of University of Aberdeen Student-led Teaching Awards given to staff from our School.<br>As a student, your learning is supported by MyAberdeen, our virtual learning environment from which you can access the lecture Powerpoint slides, online practice tests, links to related reading, and tutorial support material. We make innovative use of 'educational voting' handsets in class, remote control 'clickers' that allow each and every student to electronically respond in class by anonymous vote to questions posed by the lecturer.<br>Your academic development is supported from year 1 through to year 4 by an assigned personal tutor, who acts as adviser and mentor throughout your University career.
