Course content

This course provides an understanding of the molecular basis of biological systems and focuses on applying this knowledge to improve human health and disease, food biosecurity and sustainable biotechnologies. The unique course structure is designed in consultation with clinical and industrial partners to give you the specialist knowledge and practical skills needed for a career in molecular biosciences.

Specialising in biotechnology, you’ll be based within the Medical and Industrial Biotechnology research group at Bath where you’ll work with researchers, strengthening your ability to work as a scientist. You’ll focus on either the development of new technologies (applying principles of high-level biophysics) or the application of biotechnology in metabolic engineering, biopharmaceuticals, biomedicine, biocatalysis and algal biotechnologies in the production of biofuels or animal/industrial feedstocks.

The course is for you if you’ve graduated from a bioscience, technology, medical, veterinary or related discipline and you’re interested in a career within the field of molecular biotechnology.
