Course Overview

Our Biomolecular Science degree programmes will equip you with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours needed for careers in all branches of bioscience and allied professions.

The MSci programmes are appropriate if you want to pursue an academic or research-related career.

You can defer your choice of degree specialisation until the end of Year 2, allowing you to progress to single, joint Honours or an Integrated Masters's degree in any biomolecular sciences.

Our courses have a solid research base and benefit from excellent links with industry, the NHS and international partners. Student exchange programmes allow you to study and participate in lab-based research abroad.
