Molecular Biotechnology 3B

Course Information

These course outlines are a guide only. They are provided for the information of prospective students. Although every effort is made to ensure the most up to date information is provided, timetables often change each semester due to the availability of rooms and resources. Content (including lecture/practical topics, assessment and textbooks) is also regularly reviewed to ensure relevance and effective learning.

This Senior unit of study builds on the knowledge gained in earlier units of modern molecular biotechnology. It emphasises applications of molecular biotechnology including product design, research and development, and the importance of recognising industry trends. This will typically involve an industry placement or a detailed industry case study, on-site visits, and interactions with industry partners in association with university staff. To maximize future opportunities, students will learn about funding and research and development. As well as industry-relevant experience, students will research biotechnology kits and technologies.
