Curriculum
Year 1 consists of an introduction to plant biology, animal biology and microbiology. It also provides insight in to the molecular basis of diseases and the chemistry that underpins the study and application of Biotechnology.
Year 2 expands many of the themes introduced in year 1 and focuses on organismal, cellular and molecular aspects of plant, animal and microbial life forms and their application in Biotechnology. This year also includes two practical skills modules where the theory is put in to a practical context and aspects of career development and research study skills are also covered.
Placement Year this is an optional, but strongly recommended part of the degree in which students can develop practical experience of biotechnology most often in the private sector.
Final year this year covers current and future prospects in topics such as gene manipulation, plant biotechnology, microbial biotechnology. You also undertake an Honours project of your choice.
