理学硕士（荣誉）发育生物学

我们的MSci发展生物学课程将使您在攻读BSc的同时获得综合硕士学位，从而为您提供重要的研究经验，这对于博士和研究职业将具有不可估量的价值。在课程的前三年中，您将学习受精后形成的单个细胞如何形成胚胎，然后形成完整的成年生物，涵盖遗传学，分子生物学，生物化学，细胞生物学，解剖学，生理学和计算机建模等多个学科。您还将了解发育生物学如何对我们对进化论和现代医学的理解产生重大影响，包括对人类先天性缺陷，不育症和癌症的治疗。特别令人感兴趣的是使用干细胞工程化置换组织和器官，这可能会彻底改变医学。在第4年，您将在大学
Our MSci Developmental Biology course will enable you to achieve an integrated master's degree while you study for a BSc, giving you significant research experience that will be invaluable for a PhD and a career in research. In the first three years of the course, you will learn how the single cell formed at fertilisation forms an embryo and then a fully formed adult organism, covering multiple disciplines including genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, anatomy, physiology and computer modelling. You will also learn how developmental biology is having a significant impact on our understanding of evolution and modern medicine, including the treatment of birth defects, infertility and cancer in humans. Of particular interest is the use of stem cells to engineer replacement tissues and organs, which could revolutionise medicine. In Year 4, you will undertake a major research project in one of the University's more than 200 research labs to achieve your undergraduate master's award. Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
