Deepen your expertise in molecular microbiology with a strong focus on medical applications, infectious disease, and antimicrobial resistance at ARU. This hands-on, research-led course will equip you with the advanced lab skills and scientific knowledge needed to tackle real-world health challenges.
You’ll study in our cutting-edge Science Centre alongside internationally recognised researchers and complete an independent project in an authentic microbiology lab setting. You’ll gain experience in molecular diagnostics, the development of novel treatments, and the translation of lab research into clinical and commercial solutions.
You can choose to study full-time, part-time, or take advantage of our unique two-year full-time option, which includes professional experience modules in the second year. This gives you the opportunity to apply your learning in a real-life industry setting and further enhance your employability.
This course is ideal for science graduates or professionals looking to specialise in the medical applications of bioscience.
You'll need a first-class honours degree or an upper-second (2:1), in a science related subject or cognate subject from a UK Higher Education Institute or equivalent, or the equivalent in experiential learning (a minimum of five years of qualifying employment).
Applicants with a 2:2 in a related degree may be considered and may be required to partake in an interview.
All students are expected to be proficient in English and must fulfil or exceed the standard University requirements. For those students for whom English is not their main language, English certification at IELTS 6.5, or equivalent, is required.
On our MSc Molecular Biology, you'll gain expert laboratory skills in molecular genetics and bioinformatics relating to human infectious diseases and original research.
You'll also develop key transferable and employability skills like critical thinking, scientific writing, teamwork, and presentation, boosting your employability in both science and wider industries.
