MSc Biotechnology

The MSc Biotechnology at the University of Bedfordshire will give you the core knowledge and skills in molecular and microbiological techniques, as well as computational biology. In the main areas of study, you will learn how to analyse and change DNA, RNA, and protein using molecular biology techniques.

In this course, you will also be introduced to the concepts and principles of biomaterials used to treat human disease and injury. This unit will expose you to health issues related to artificial organs, plastic surgery, implants, and bone reconstructions. You will examine the biological and clinical problems involved in these processes, with a focus on how the body might reject them.

You will complete a Biotechnology Research Project. This will allow you to do your own significant piece of research, which you will then present professionally. Throughout the MSc Biotechnology at the University of Bedfordshire, workshops and tutorials are used to help you develop your academic skills and prepare for assessments.
