    Content

    This programme provides fundamental knowledge of the experimental and analytical tools required to solve complex problems in modern biology. Our main theme is the development of quantitative models of biological systems through interdisciplinary collaboration.

    You will be trained in theoretical, mathematical and statistical modelling together with experimental techniques. We aim to recruit students from both the life sciences and the physical, mathematical and engineering sciences and related disciplines.

    The first semester's taught courses are tailored to the different academic backgrounds of the students. In particular, non-biologists will gain 'hands-on' experience in modern experimental techniques. This type of training is essential to create in every student a potential for critical analysis of systems biology problems based on real understanding of both experimental and theoretical issues. However, our philosophy is not to convert engineers into biologists or biologists into mathematicians, but rather to give you the skills and experience to understand and appreciate each others' specialities, to communicate effectively with one another, and to work side-by-side on cutting-edge research projects.

    There will be an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration through group project work in the first year, which will be fostered through weekly joint seminars and working groups. To further strengthen the group identity of the MRes students we provide a dedicated common computer laboratory and meeting room.

    You may choose to complete the taught components plus collaborative project, to gain a PgDip. The second project takes the programme up to the completion of the MRes.
