    University of Chester

    The University of Chester got its start back in 1839 as the Chester Diocesan Training College, and is among the oldest higher education institutions in England. Its original buildings were the first purpose-built teacher’s training facility in the nation. It still stands on land donated for the purpose in 1842, where then-Prime Minister Gladstone opened […]

    Course Summary

    Cellular and molecular biology are poised to revolutionise a great many industries in the coming decades, and a BSc degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Chester will prepare you to take your place in industry or academia as an expert in any – and perhaps even all – of these exciting new developments.

    You’ll learn all about both the cellular and molecular approaches to understanding the life sciences. You’ll explore core concepts like biochemistry, microbiology and genetics, as well as more advanced concepts like bioinformatics, research methodologies and the cutting edge techniques of cellular and molecular biology. You’ll also learn the vital practical and laboratory skills which can make or break your early career.

    This degree program is taught by academic staff who are themselves recognised researchers in their fields, and who have a personal stake in advancing the cutting edge of the field even as you study it.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This degree program is typically delivered over 3 years at full time.

    Year 1

    You’ll begin by amassing a basic understanding of the life sciences, but with a special emphasis on cellular biology and the nature of microbiology and physiology. You’ll also study the way life scientists handle and manipulate data, design and conduct experiments, and run research projects.

    Modules Include:

    • Cell Biology and Biochemistry
    • Data Handling and Project Design
    • Essential Physiology
    • Genetics and Evolution
    • Introductory Microbiology and Immunology

    Year 2

    In year 2, the focus will be more on applied microbiology. You’ll look more deeply into how life functions on the molecular level.

    Modules Include:

    • Applied Microbiology
    • Applied Molecular Biology
    • Biology of Disease
    • Human Metabolism
    • Research Methods

    Year 3

    In the final year of the program, you’ll explore the cutting edge of your field of specialty, as well as conducting an extensive and detailed capstone research project of your own.

    Learning & Teaching

    Chester’s BSc in Cell and Molecular Biology is delivered via large, formal lectures as well as through smaller interactive seminar sessions and skills workshops. You’ll also participate in online and computer-assisted learning. As you progress, you’ll be preparing to conduct your final research project. This will be delivered with the assistance of the university’s academic staff, but the work will be your own. You’ll be encouraged to utilise the latest cutting edge equipment ant techniques.

    Career Possiblities

    This degree is but the first step in an exciting career in the life sciences. You’ll have many options when you graduate, including continuing your academic career to the Master’s or even PhD level. You could easily become a leading researcher in any of the new specialties opening up in this wide, fast moving field. Alternatively, there are many technician and researcher roles available in a wide range of industries, most especially medical technology and biotech. 

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 3 year BSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have earned 112 UCAS Tariff points, or the international equivalent. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.
