Course description

Lead academic: Dr Martin Nicklin

Designed for both animal/human biology and clinical graduates, this flexible course focuses on the molecular and genetic factors of human diseases. Understanding these factors is crucial to the development of therapies.

The course will

• provide you with an understanding of both the background and the current technical and scientific advances in biomedical science and therapeutic design.
• teach you how to use the latest technology to answer research questions
• emphasise how experiments and experimental programmes are designed and interpreted.
• provide you with an experience of a hypothesis-driven laboratory research project alongside experts in the field

All the above will increase your employability in both industry and academia, as well as being an excellent route to a PhD. It will also provide valuable transferable skills that you can use in whatever career path you choose.
