Study mode: four years eu tuition fees: 2018 fees: £ational tuition fees: 2018 fees: £18,ation deadline:Teaching and msci in applied biological research is an undergraduate, integrated master’s degree with an industry placement in the fourth year, the aim of which is to prepare you for a phd or a career in an industrial or academic research environment, for example within the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries and for other biological, biomedicine and veterinary-related fourth year, which contains the industry placement, will build on your knowledge gained from your first three years and develop your scientific and transferable skills further, making you ‘work ready’ and able to realise your full potential as soon as you embark on your chosen career path once graduating from the programme draws on our long history of cutting-edge research programmes which have contributed to advances in human as well as veterinary medicine, and explores the fundamentals of biological and biomedical science that are needed to understand and develop new therapies for both human and veterinary diseases. The course will give you a clear and detailed understanding of underpinning physiology and cellular and molecular biology, as well as an insight into disease mechanisms and an appreciation of comparative and integrated approaches to aid diagnosis and treatment in the will be engaged in research projects and receive training in advanced research methodology and critical analysis, to prepare you for careers in academic, clinical, or industrial msci includes a placement in the fourth year of the course. Throughout this research experience, you will be challenged by, and stimulated to challenge, the currently accepted wisdom in biological is important to note that you will be responsible for finding and securing your fourth year programme has received advanced accredited from the royal society of biology following an independent and rigorous assessment. Accredited degree programmes contain a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge and key skills, and prepare graduates to address the needs of employers. Inheritance, genetics and evolution / 15 credits appreciate how different characteristics are inherited leading to a fuller understanding of the mechanisms underlying all biological processes in health and disease.
This module will provide a comprehensive overview of genetics from molecules to populations, and how genetics can be applied to increase our understanding of diseases and in the design of new therapies to treat them. Units on fundamentals of cellular biochemistry and metabolic processes, digestive physiology, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, neurology and renal physiology, will provide a good overview of how biological processes at the cellular, tissue and organ level contribute to function of the organism as a whole. Problem definition and investigation / 30 credits develop your critical and analytical thinking whilst consolidating the biological principles learned in year one. You will work in small groups to answer scientific questions in different areas of current research strength within the various departments of the rvc. Then, you will undertake an in-depth independent library-based project focused on an active area of research, under the supervision of an academic member of staff. Applied pharmacology / 15 credits build on the knowledge gained in ‘principles of pharmacology’ and discusses issues that are relevant to the clinical use of drugs. Research project undertake an investigative hypothesis driven project or dissertation allied to your own research interests, and at the end of the year present the results in the form of a written report and as an oral presentation. These projects involve a topic selected by an rvc supervisor in light of the areas of expertise and cutting-edge research found within the college. You will concentrate on the veterinary applications of research and highlight how it makes a real impact on animal health and welfare. Applied molecular microbiology / 15 credits in addition to their importance as pathogens, microbes have many beneficial uses.
The module will explore the use of microbes as factories, microbes and food, microbes in research and microbes and health. Research activities in skeletal pathobiology are commonly directed at understanding the development, growth, ageing and functional maintenance of the skeletal system as well as the evolution of bone and joint pathologies. Animal behaviour and cognition / 15 credits conduct theoretical and applied training in animal behaviour science and animal cognition. Applied animal welfare / 15 credits examine important animal welfare issues from a national and global perspective. This module will give insight into the latest research in nervous system development, and will give you the opportunity to develop your understanding of how researchers employ animal models in this research and inform you of the latest applications of developmental biology research, including the use of stem cells and molecular editing techniques. Endocrine and metabolic syndromes / 15 credits the increasing problem of obesity in the human and pet population has resulted in a dramatic increase in research efforts to understand and influence metabolism, and treat associated side effects. Practical investigative biology / 15 credits an intense training course in cell and molecular biology, with a view to equipping you with the practical and design skills required to undertake research in areas of molecular biology. Advanced research methods / 15 credits training in research methodology, analytical skills and academic writing so that you are well prepared for your extended research project and future research you may be involved in within academia, industry or a graduate career. Extended research project this msci includes a placement in the fourth year of the course. Throughout this research experience, you will be challenged by and stimulated to challenge, the currently accepted wisdom in biological is important to note that you will be responsible for finding and securing your fourth year ngyou will be exposed to a wide range of learning experiences in all four years of the course that include lectures, seminars, workshops, and a variety of directed and self-directed learning activities that will include practical exercises and self-assessment m solving exercises, case studies, reflection and role modelling will improve your reasoning skills whilst your practical skills will be developed through demonstration, observation, prosecution, feedback, and experimentation.
You are required to be proactive in searching, applying and securing your own placement, although support and guidance on finding a placement will be provided in specific timetabled sessions and further advice will be available during lecturers’ office ng staff the rvc has renowned researchers and scientists delivering each module. A major part of your biological sciences courses is the undertaking of a research estimated breakdown of assessment for your final grade is:Written (coursework, which may include essays, presentations, journal clubs) - 20%.
