Overview

Intended for graduates of the biological and biosciences, the MSc Molecular Biotechnology course will provide learners with specialist knowledge of molecular biology and biotechnology. This exciting and fast-moving area of bioscience is having an enormous impact on biotechnology. Analysis and manipulation of genes and genomes have provided the foundation for the development of new diagnostic methods, biological drugs and improved enzymes and proteins. New vaccines, synthetic antibodies and improved crops have also benefitted from advances in molecular biotechnology. During the course students will gain a thorough understanding of key fields of molecular biology, genetics, cell biology and protein science. In addition, the latest techniques of recombinant DNA technology, protein analysis, genomics and bioinformatics will also be introduced. Other major topics include the latest plant and animal genome sequencing projects, gene editing technology, next generation DNA sequencing, high throughput analysis and bioinformatic data analysis, applied molecular technologies for improvements in plant and animal systems, metabolic engineering and surface display systems. This MSc programme involves training students in research methods and hands-on experience of laboratory and bioinformatics techniques such as gene knockout methods and next generation sequencing analysis. Hertfordshire is know for its excellent facilities for biomolecular analysis like cell culture, DNA and protein manipulation. Moreover, learners will have access to the latest equipment for PCR, qPCR and 2D protein gel analysis systems for use in lab practical and during projects. The University has strong relationships with GSK and Astra Zeneca for students to benefit from work placements and innovative guest lectures delivered by leading researchers in the biotechnology industry. Successful graduates may go on to work in a broad range of fields including biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, academic research, medical writing/science journalism, education, or patent law. Alternatively, they may also use the MSc Molecular Biotechnology degree to underpin an application to study for a research degree such as MRes, MSc by Research, or a PhD in a related field.
