About Program
Program Overview
This program provides in-depth knowledge in biomolecular science, covering advanced cell signaling, molecular biology, bioentrepreneurship, and current topics in biochemistry. Students can specialize in either bioprocess technology and biopharmaceuticals or molecular mechanisms of disease through elective pathways. The program prepares graduates for careers in bioscience, biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other allied industries.

Other:
- Students will be provided in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge on a range of topics, reflecting the integrated nature of biomolecular science, such as the importance of macromolecular structure, interactions and function in relation to normal and diseased states as studied in Biochemistry.
- In preparation for the scientific project, the principles and practice of qualitative and quantitative analysis of biomolecules as well as research methods and data analysis will be studied.
- Two optional pathways (taken alongside core modules) allow students to tailor their degree to areas of interest:
- Option 1 provides students with the key concepts of process design relating to biomolecules of industrial importance and the development, manufacturing and marketing of biopharmaceutical products.
- In Option 2 the molecular and genetic mechanisms of disease will be explored including practical application of investigative and diagnostic technology.
- Opportunities are available for students to undertake their project module in a partner institution within the EU under the Erasmus plus programme.
