About this course

The programme offers extensive hands-on training in advanced bioscience research techniques and on-site induction to the operation and management of core research facilities. The programme prepares students for a broad range of professions that require experimental biological/biomedical research skills and particularly for the roles of specialist research staff (e.g. equipment specialists, data analysis specialists) and managers of core research facilities.


Introduction

Researchers with highly specialised analytical and practical skills are at a premium within the research sector. Typically working in core facilities and research roles, these research technical professionals underpin a wide range of academic and industry research and can progress into significant leadership roles. The programme will provide graduates and staff interested in this career option access to focussed education and training.

Within the framework of the programme students will be embedded in world-class core research facilities and undertake hands-on training in advanced techniques under the expert guidance of equipment/methodology specialists. This training will be supplemented with lectures and workshops focused on the applications of research techniques and the practical aspects of managing research facilities. Students will be able to access a bespoke experience closely aligned with their career aspirations in research or core facility roles. This is the first programme of its type in the UK.


Who is this course for?

This programme is designed for graduates and current research/technical staff interested in:

  • Mastering advanced bioscience techniques and gaining research experience as well as obtaining theoretical knowledge in the research areas aligned with the applications of the bioscience techniques.
  • Gaining knowledge and experience in the operation and management of core research facilities.
  • Pursuing a career of specialist research staff (e.g. equipment specialists, data analysis specialists) and/or manager of core research facilities.

What you'll learn

  • Advanced bioscience techniques necessary to become professional experimenters and pursue a career in academia or industry, or as a preparation for PhD training.
  • State-of-the-art methodological/technical knowledge in the Bioscience research field.
  • Data analysis, curation, interpretation and presentation.
  • Recent scientific developments relevant to cutting edge techniques utilised in Core Research Facilities and applications of these techniques.
  • The role, functioning and management of a core research facility.
  • Ability to plan, conduct and present a major piece of original, independent research.
