MSci degree programmes
You will take the same lecture and practical units as the three year BSc students in Year 1 and 2. In year 3, you will take the two degree programme specific papers (problem and essay papers). You will be prepared for the degree programme specific papers through the third year tutorials with the BSc students. The remaining 100 credits will come from the following units:
- BIOL33000 MSci Research Project Proposal (10 credits)
- BIOL33012 MSci Experimental Skills Module (20 credits)
- BIOL33011 MSci Bioinformatics Tools and Resources (10 credits) and/or
- BIOL33021 Computional Approaches to Biology (10 credits) as determined by your Programme Director
- Then either 5 or 6 lecture-based units over the year (each worth 10 credits) up to 120 credits in total.
During Year 4, you will complete a seven month research project.
If you feel that you no longer wish to continue on a MSci degree programme and would like to transfer to a three-year BSc degree, please discuss this with your Programme Director and/or Academic Tutor. A completed Degree Programme Change form should be submitted to the Student Support Office if you do decide to transfer off the MSci programme.
