• All Biotechnology and Biochemistry students follow the same core modules for the first two years, including biological chemistry, molecular biology, integrative cell biology and genes and genomics. This gives a solid grounding in the fundamental topics and prepares for advanced study.
  • In your third-year students have increased freedom to follow your own interests by choosing from a wide range of optional modules and completing a research project or dissertation involving a significant element of biotechnology.
  • Teaching is enriched by the Department’s internationally leading research programme, so students will be learning at the very cutting edge of the subject. They will also benefit from access to our outstanding facilities, including for genomic and cell biology studies, tissue culture suites and the most modern microscopes.
  • The core modules including accounting, entrepreneurship and marketing equip you with an understanding of the management of the operating environment of business organisations and prepare for a career in management roles.
