The UK has hundreds of biotech companies and is a leader in innovating specialist products from living organisms. Biotech applications are enhancing food production, treating medical conditions, and having a significant impact on the global future. Recent and relevant biotechnological research is at the heart of our programme and will culminate in your final module: a 60-credit independent research project, in which you design and implement your own research, and present, analyse and communicate your data. It is excellent preparation for a PhD or a research job in the industry.

If your first degree included the study of genetics and molecular biology, and a research module, youre well-placed to join us.<br><br>Many recruiters in the biotech industry expect candidates to have studied at postgraduate level so our Masters qualification will help you get through the door of the interview room. Once there, your major project and other assignments will help ensure there is plenty to catch their attention. Employers are looking for the ability to solve problems, think critically, work with others and function independently which are exactly the attributes that our course develops to a higher level.
