This course offers both taught components and extensive research experience for students with backgrounds in biological, chemical, and physical sciences. It is particularly suitable for those who wish to gain both theoretical and practical research experience in the techniques of structural biology. Graduates go on to careers in research, science writing, teaching, and academia. Possible professions include higher education lecturer, research scientist, or science writer. This degree can also be useful in various roles within the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in becoming a secondary school teacher.
