Since the establishment of School of Biological Sciences (SBS) in 2001, we have always focused on equipping students with the skills and knowledge essential for today’s global environment. \
SBS offers a stimulating environment and diverse areas of research in biological and biomedical sciences. We promote interdisciplinary research through collaboration across boundaries and are committed to doing excellent research and delivering high-level education to our students.\
We currently offer fourdifferent graduate programmes:
- PhD (Research)
- MSc (Research)
- MSc (Coursework) in Biomedical Data Science
- MSc (Coursework) in BioBusiness and BioEntrepreneurship
The PhD and MSc Research programmes require the students to perform original and novel research and submit a thesis for examination at the end of their candidature. It takes typically 4 years to complete the PhD and ~1.5 to 2 years for MSc. \
The MSc in Biomedical Data Science is a coursework-based Master’s degree where the students attend a selection of course modules related to biomedical sciences and data sciences. The duration for this program is 1 year.
