Structural Molecular Biology

Our postgraduate structural molecular biology course provides you with excellent training and education in the core knowledge and skills required by scientists concerned with structural molecular biology methods relating to protein and cellular structural analysis.

MSc and Postgraduate Diploma in Structural Molecular Biology: The MSc and PG Dip are taught through a combination of on-campus and online teaching with lots of opportunity for you to gain hands-on experience in our world-class research laboratories. We offer you:

• an in-depth introduction to the field of molecular bioscience
• knowledge of the core areas of structural biology needed to study biological molecules and more complex samples
• an opportunity to gain understanding of molecular microbiology techniques
• training in research skills, covering both a wide range of laboratory methods as well as statistics and data handling.

On the MSc, you will then be able to extend your skills and knowledge further with the completion of an independent experimental research project within one of our research groups.

Postgraduate Certificate in Structural Molecular Biology: This innovative course is taught entirely online so you can study part-time in your own time, wherever you are in the world. It suits many of our students who continue to pursue full-time employment and manage family responsibilities. It is ideal if you are a scientist wishing to update your knowledge, or as background studies if you are a research student, particularly if your undergraduate studies were in a different area. You will learn key experimental techniques in modern structural biology and methods for carrying out structural biology research.
