Overview

BSc (Hons) Molecular and Cellular Biology explores the biological processes that operate within cells and the molecular mechanisms that underpin life. The course develops a scientific understanding of biology from fundamental principles to more specialised areas, providing a foundation for studying how living systems function and interact.

What You'll Learn

• Core principles of molecular and cellular biology and their role in living organisms

• Biological processes occurring at cellular and molecular levels

• Key concepts within biological science and related scientific disciplines

• The significance of molecular mechanisms in understanding health and everyday life

• Connections between biological science and areas such as genetics, biotechnology, pharmacology, neuroscience, and public health

• Scientific knowledge relevant to further study and professional contexts across science and health

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain fundamental concepts in molecular and cellular biology and describe how molecular and cellular processes contribute to the functioning of living systems. They will develop an integrated understanding of biological science and its relevance to health and other scientific fields. Students will also be able to connect concepts from molecular and cellular biology with broader areas such as genetics, biotechnology, pharmacology, neuroscience, and public health, supporting informed progression into science- and health-related fields.
