• Students develop an understanding of the areas involved in synthetic biology, including engineering principles, mathematical modelling, advanced molecular biology, microbiology, biochemical engineering and necessary chemistry. Modules also provide the necessary skills for acquisition and critical analysis of the primary scientific literature and transferable research development skills. This programme includes a major research project that will provide in-depth training in synthetic biology research methods.
  • Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
  • The programme consists of an extended research project (120 credits) and three core taught modules (60 credits)
  • Upon successful completion of 180 credits, students will be awarded an MRes in Synthetic Biology.
