Molecular & Cellular Biology (with Biotechnology) Bsc/msci in University of Glasgow

Biotechnology seeks to optimise the utilisation of microorganisms, animals, plants and their cellular components in industrial, medical and agricultural processes and in environmental management

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

YEAR 1

You will be given a general introduction to all aspects of modern biology and encouraged to acquire general scientific skills.

YEAR 2

You will develop your knowledge of fundamental aspects of biology and be introduced to specialist subject areas according to your interests.

YEARS 3, 4 AND 5

If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) you will study a broad spectrum of molecular topics to learn the key sciences that underpin biotechnology: molecular genetic methods, genomics, proteins, membranes and filaments, DNA structure and function, gene expression, mobile DNA, biotechnology, essential cell biology and experimental strategies. In year 4 you will learn to study and interpret primary data from current research and choose from a range of specialised advanced courses. You will also undertake a research project.

Molecular & Cellular Biology (with Biotechnology) can be taken as an MSci, which includes an additional placement year, between the third and final years of the degree. This is normally spent doing research in industry or a research institute in the UK or overseas.

The available final-year optional courses may change each year and students are not guaranteed a place on a particular final-year option.
