This research-focused MSc Developmental Biology course will give students extensive hands-on experience of conducting research into how fertilised eggs turn into complex multicellular organisms. Students will learn through an interactive approach involving seminars, workshops and small group tutorials rather than traditional lectures. Students will also undertake placements in the labs of leading researchers working on a range of model organisms and diverse areas of developmental biology. This course requires the completion of 180 credits, of which 120 credits are project based and 60 credits are from transferable skills units in essential areas such as laboratory skills, experimental design, statistics, bioethics (included in the tutorial and workshop unit) and science communication.
