You’ll develop the skills required to conduct standard laboratory procedures in Biological Sciences, including the safe handling of materials in experimental settings, taking into account their chemical properties, including any specific hazards associated with their use. You will also be able to demonstrate skills in the monitoring, by observation and/or measurement, of a variety of chemical or biological properties, events or changes, of both a quantitative and qualitative nature, together with their systematic and reliable recording and documentation, in the laboratory or the field.

On successful completion, you’ll be equipped with:

• An understanding of the theory, technology and clinical practice of human molecular genetics and molecular biology techniques
• An awareness of the applications of genetic engineering approaches to prevent disease
• The transferable skills needed to work in a wide range of sectors.

From time to time, we make changes to our courses to improve the student and learning experience. If we make a significant change to your chosen course, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
