Location of University of Nottingham
The MSc Applied Biomolecular Technology is aimed at science graduates requiring advanced training for careers in important industries such as pharmaceuticals, food/nutrition, healthcare, biomedical and oil.
It is offered by the School of Biosciences in conjunction with the Schools of Pharmacy, Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
Biomolecular Technology underpins the production of drug delivery systems, the making of healthier food products, the design of healthcare products, the making of antisera and vaccines – and even the efficient extraction of oil from the harsh environment of a deep well.
The programme is split into distinct but interrelated modules including Drug Delivery, Structural Biology, Antibody Biotechnology, Genomics, Biomolecular Science and Industrial Macromolecules. There is a three-month placement module, which can be taken either in Industry or as part of a University-based Industrial project.
The course is highly popular with both students and industry, and we have dedicated course staff who look after the academic and pastoral welfare of the students.
Contents
The content of the MSc Applied Biomolecular Technology course will train you to analyse the natural and artificially engineered large bio-molecules of importance to the pharmaceutical, food / nutrition, healthcare, biomedical, oil and other important industries.
By the end of the course, you will be conversant with methods of gene cloning and protein engineering central to the Biotechnology sector.
The three-month industrial placement is deemed crucial in giving you training, as well as a full appreciation of what is required by modern industry.
The industrial placement will enable you to put into practice the knowledge, IT, computing and communication skills acquired in the previous modules, and you will learn how to successfully undertake research work of industrial and/or biomedical relevance.
Course Structure
The MSc in Applied Biomolecular Technology is delivered on a full-time basis over one year or part-time over two years.
This course comprises 180 credits - you will take 120 credits’ worth of taught modules over the autumn and spring semesters before completing a 60-credit three month industrial placement and dissertation project towards the end of the course.
