Learn more about the employability plan you'll benefit from the moment you sign up.
There has been a real boom in biomedical and biotechnology laboratories in recent decades. With our Postgraduate in Molecular Biology on your CV, you will be able to apply for a range of challenging and rewarding positions across various sectors.
Most employment opportunities available to molecular biology experts can be found in public and private research laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, multinational biomedical development companies, and food technology companies.
Our Postgraduate in Molecular Biology spans 1 year, totaling 1,500 hours of study. This is equivalent to 60 ECTS credits, the standard workload for an academic year. Our programme aligns with a level 7 qualification in the UK.
The Postgraduate programme includes an introductory module on the basic concepts of cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising laboratory equipment and materials.
In addition to this, during the optional internship, you will come into direct contact with a range of different machines that are integral to biomedical and biotech laboratory work, such as centrifuges, coagulation analysers, humidity analysers, mass comparators, and microbalances.
At CEMP, we offer online training programs that are fully adapted to the needs of each person, with tailored payment instalments available worldwide, to make sure each student can complete all stages of their postgraduate course successfully. To find out more about course fees and payment plans, contact us through our online form and one of our friendly and experienced team members will be in touch.
