MSc Molecular Bioscience

The Molecular Bioscience MSc has two distinct and separate pathways of study allowing you to focus on Molecular Medicine or Genetics and Genomics. You can elect to take study topics in your chosen area of interest and it allows you to design your molecular bioscience Master's degree to meet your career aspirations. With specific pathways in Genetics and Genomics or Molecular Medicine. Subject specific modules tailored to the individual pathways allow you to design your Master's degree in Molecular Bioscience to meet your career aspirations. Well-equipped biomedical science laboratories used for learning and research.

The Molecular Bioscience MSc programme supports you to develop your knowledge and understanding of key aspects of your chosen pathway and is aimed at individuals that have a prior knowledge of, or keen interest in, Molecular Medicine or Genetics and Genomics. Areas of focus in Molecular Medicine include immunological cancers, diagnosis and mechanisms of bacterial infections, the pathology of neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disease and the role of bioenergetics in health and disease. Our Genetics and Genomics pathway is also very diverse, with current research at Northampton focusing on antimicrobial resistance, the genetics of neurological disease and the impact of human genetic variation on the fight against infection.
