What you will study

Year one is taught entirely with a cohort of about 25 students, combining laboratory work with parallel classroom sessions on concepts and methods from several disciplines. In years two and three the integrated approach runs alongside in-depth study of the molecular and cellular basis of life, with core modules including enzymology, protein structure/function, structural molecular biology and tools for discovery, plus optional modules. Assessment includes assignments, examinations, group assignments, lab reports and individual oral assessment; the final classification weights year one 15%, year two 20% and year three 65%.
