Aims & Learning Objectives:
Aims: To provide a wide-ranging view of the diversity of topics within molecular & cellular biology. To develop student understanding of underlying fundamental principles in molecular & cellular biology. To draw together knowledge and understanding gained through the taught course, professional placement and attendance at seminars by experts in areas outside those normally encountered in the Department. To highlight the integrated nature of the modern approach to solving biological problems and the construction of theories based on information/data drawn from many areas of science.
After taking this course the student should be able to:
* produce a written summary of a research seminar understandable by a degree level biological scientist
*describe, through the writing of two essays under examination conditions, topics that reach across a range of subject areas within molecular & cellular biology.
Content:
The students will attend seminars from those offered by the Department during the academic year (regular weekly). The topic areas will be the subject specialisms of the speakers, selected to overlap with taught material, research in the Department and topical issues in bioscience.
