Program Overview
From the development of innovative gene therapies and novel drugs to improving washing powders so they neutralise bacteria at lower temperatures, biotechnological research shapes the development of the world we live in. Biotechnology encompasses the latest discoveries regarding biological molecules, cells and organisms and applies them to problems arising in health, industry and the environment. This discipline continues to expand as technology develops.This course will introduce the cross disciplinary nature of biotechnology and its wide range of applications providing the skills and technical knowledge to work in a multidisciplinary environment. You will develop an awareness of the impact of biotechnology on the environment applying technical knowledge to tackle global challenges.
Entrants to the programme will have studied to the 2nd year of university level study for example an Associate Degree or HND in an appropriate area and will have covered core biological disciplines including plant and animal biology, cell biology and microbiology, biochemistry (particularly enzyme function and metabolic pathways). On the programme you will examine green biotechnology and applications of micro-organisms in pollution remediation as well as the principles, practice and applications of plant and animal biotechnology. You can also select from a choice of specialist modules that introduce a range of important biotechnological applications like gene therapy, plant transgenics, drug design and environmental remediation.
The fundamental role of the biotechnologist as the 'maker' of a product is explored and includes input from prestigious industry partners.
