Synthetic Biology MSc

This course provides you with a balance of molecular biology, engineering, computing, and modeling skills necessary for a career in synthetic biology. The computational design of biological systems is important as the field of synthetic biology grows. This allows the construction of complex and large biological systems. While laboratory approaches to engineering biological systems are a major focus, the course specializes in computational design. This provides you with essential computing and engineering skills to allow you to develop software to program biological systems. Our course is designed for students from both biological and computational backgrounds. Prior experience with computers or computer programming is not required. Students with mathematical, engineering, or other scientific backgrounds are also welcome to apply. It is ideal if you are aiming for careers in industry or academia.

A 2:1 honors degree, or international equivalent, in computing science, a maths-based subject, or any biological science-based subject such as: genetics biochemistry biology
