What will I learn?

The Master of Science (MSc) programme enables you to pursue advanced study in your area of interest with the opportunity to work on independent research. Studying for an MSc is an opportunity for committed scientists to focus on a relevant area of interest or practice and pursue an advanced qualification. While a taught masters will provide you with specialist training in your chosen field, a research masters will develop advanced research skills, working alongside Faculty of Science researchers – many of whom are major contributors in their field. You will gain knowledge about the development and application of bioinformatics and computational methods in biology, biotechnology and medicine. You will develop cutting edge skills in emerging areas of research, including genomics and gene expression, structural biology, microbiology, and evolution.
