This course enables students to study cutting edge molecular methods employed for the understanding of molecular mechanisms of diseases and for their diagnosis and treatment. Studies will be underpinned by essential knowledge in genetics, cell signalling and molecular medicine.

They will be offered the flexibility to select option modules that reflect their own interest in molecular biology and these will be combined with core modules and an independent research project. The course is suitable for newly qualified graduates, those employed in related work and those with medical qualifications.
