Master of Science in Biotechnology

Program Overview

Do you want to focus your scientific career on one of the fastest moving sectors of science? 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.

Given the common expectation for job candidates to have some form of postgraduate qualification, this Masters course offers a route to careers in biotechnology as well as the broader life sciences industry. If your first degree included the study of genetics and molecular biology, and a research module, you’re well-placed to join us.
