Overview

The overall purpose of the Biotechnology Research course at Ulster University is to provide advanced education in biotechnology-related research methods.

The main objective of the course is to improve the pool of knowledge and technological skills available to support biotechnology-based industry and research nationally and internationally.

In the third semester, students will have the opportunity to undertake their own independent full time research project within one of the research groups in the internationally renowned Biomedical Sciences Research Institute (BMSRI) at Ulster. The BMSRI research covers biomedicine from the molecular to the whole human including disease development, prevention, diagnosis and therapy.

Career and Opportunities

This course aims to prepare students for employment in specific bioscience sectors and to equip them for continuing personal, professional and intellectual development throughout their careers.

On completion of this course, students will have gained experience of advanced laboratory techniques, problem-solving and research design in a range of biotechnology areas, and will be well prepared to work in research positions or to proceed on to do a higher research degree in a related area.
