• a course detailing for the first time how a cell really works; we reveal and explain how cell biology is governed by a cell's molecular biology and biochemistry; 
• a course placing a high value on its teaching and learning; all lecture material supported by non-assessed workshops – your chance to team-work, ask questions and enjoy the science; 
• contains an extended research practical; you carry out lab research to understand how cells responds to starvation stress, and write up in research paper format; 
• we teach how to access the scientific literature and write successful essays, preparing you for Honours year

• This course covers four main areas of advanced research-led molecular biology:
• Genome Organisation and Analysis
• Proteins: Structure, Function and Engineering
• Control of Gene Expression
• The Dynamic Cell

• The course also teaches you about the scientific methods and discoveries that lie behind the above topics and covers detailed examples from the current scientific literature

• Final year Honours projects offer an excellent opportunity to carry out cutting-edge literature or lab-based scientific research
• With projects from disciplines throughout the School of Medicine, Medical Science and Nutrition to choose from, this is a opening to follow your interests working with staff and leading researchers
• Projects form the zenith of your degree and fosters development of the skills and knowledge gained throughout your degree, as well as heightening analytical and critical thinking abilities
• The opportunity to be part of novel, yet-to-be published research projects can be career-defining, and provides experience to prepare you for the future.

• this is a non-credit bearing course code for the Honours Data Analysis Exam

• this is a non-credit bearing course code for the Honours General Essay Exam

This short course allows students to explore the research carried out within the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition and identify a supervisor and research area for their extended research project.
