Molecular biology is the study of biological systems at the molecular level and draws on knowledge from across biological sciences. Since the discovery of the structure of DNA and the advancement of whole genome sequences, molecular biologists are able to offer solutions to the most serious problems we face in modern medicine, agriculture, and industry. This includes:* understanding the molecular basis of diseases including cancer* crop improvements and agricultural sustainability* developing novel enzymes for use in industrial processesIn this programme, you will learn how combined genetic and molecular approaches have led to the understanding of fundamental biological and cellular processes. You will also be introduced to molecular cloning and genetic manipulation techniques central to the study of organisms and to biotechnology.**Flexibility**Biological Sciences explores the study of living organisms, covering everything from the interactions of animals in their environment to how genes are expressed.We offer 12 different biological sciences subject areas, including molecular biology. Regardless of your initial application choice, you will have the opportunity to explore aspects of each of our programmes in the early years and choose to specialise in whichever one interests you.Our skills based curriculum will equip you with data analysis, programming and problem-solving skills, as well as teaching you effective communication, and independent thinking, preparing you to be a part of the next generation of scientific thinkers who apply their skills in various contexts.
