Master of Research - Biomolecular Technology

Focusing on technical knowledge and practical skills, this MRes is ideal for students who wish to pursue research in industrially relevant areas of biochemistry, such as biopharma/healthcare, healthy foods, bioarcheology, business/entrepreneurship, and other related fields. It is also suitable for individuals currently employed in industry who are seeking to earn a master’s qualification while working in their company’s laboratories.

Many of the modules can be completed remotely, allowing students to balance their studies with other work commitments.

The successful development and distribution of Covid vaccines can be attributed to effective macromolecular design and precise measurement.

This program is offered in collaboration with leading biopharma/healthcare and food companies, including AstraZeneca, Arecor, Sanofi, GSK, Upperton Laboratories, and Britvic, as well as institutions like the National Institute for Biological Standards and the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.

Current research projects are available in areas such as biopharma and healthcare, industrial biochemistry, food chemistry, macromolecular biotechnology, biomolecular conservation in archaeology, and the business aspects of biomolecular technology.
