subjects such as biology. The aim <strong>of</strong> all these programmes, which share key modules, is to produce<br />
graduates who can approach these rapidly developing fields in the broadest possible sense - from<br />
understanding the latest advances in molecular and cellular biology to considering the new ethical<br />
questions that these revolutionary techniques <strong>of</strong>ten raise.<br />

positions in public and industrial<br />
laboratories. Plus transferable skills<br />
obtained also prepare you for careers<br />
in management, education, medical<br />
writing, medical sales and commerce.<br />
