About the course

Most biological disciplines rely on analyses at the molecular level and the use of molecular biology to manipulate genes and proteins. Our MSc will train you to become an active and engaged researcher in this field.

You’ll spend a large part of your course researching real biological problems in a research-active laboratory. You’ll closely interact with your supervisor and become part of their research group.

Our collaborative links with the Genome Damage and Stability Centre, Brighton and Sussex Medical School and Sussex Neuroscience will give you opportunities to experience cutting-edge research projects across many areas of modern bioscience.

Our state-of-the-art facilities include the Sussex Centre for Advanced Microscopy.

Entry Requirements

You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree or above.

Your qualification should be in a relevant science subject, such as biochemistry, biomedical science, genetics, cell biology. If your qualification is in another subject area we would normally make our offer at the upper second-class (2.1) level. You may also be considered for the course if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.
