Biomolecular Science - Online

Key programme benefits to future students

* A degree in biomolecular science can make a significant impact on society by contributing to advancements in various fields such as healthcare, environmental protection, and biotechnology. Professionals in this field can work on developing new treatments for diseases, creating sustainable processes, and much more. Ultimately, this can lead to a better quality of life for people around the world.

* The course will focus on topics in molecular and cell biology and the impact of cellular dysfunctions in disease. The course will also encompass analysis of complex biological data (data analytics), advanced characterisation techniques, regulatory affairs and biophysics.

* The course is delivered online allowing flexibility for working or remote students.
