We run a comprehensive postgraduate programme to ensure that our students are able to gain a wide range of experience. At the end of their studentship, Babraham students will have been trained in a variety of state-of-the-art techniques at the frontiers of modern molecular biology. They also receive training in a wide range of transferable skills, including intellectual property and the exploitation of knowledge for wealth creation and improvement to the quality of life. They will also know how to organise their laboratory and research programme.
Please note that part-time study may not always be viable and will be considered on a case-by-case basis, so please discuss this option with your proposed supervisor before making an application for this mode of study.
