Master of Science (Molecular Biology) is offered as a coursework programme aims to give students a sufficient background in molecular biology while having a focus on the current applications in molecular biology specifically to instil theoretical knowledge and skills in molecular biology; to equip candidates with the relevant knowledge required for research in the field of molecular biology and biotechnology; and to prepare for PhD enrolment in related areas of biotechnology. The programme provides students the fundamental competencies (such as molecular genetics, topics, and techniques) in molecular biology while allowing enough breadth to pursue various aspects of biotechnology (e.g., industrial, plant, and microbiological biotechnology). Students are also given the opportunity to carry out high-impact research projects using state-of-the-art research instruments such as the next generation sequencers, transmission and scanning electron microscopes, confocal laser scanning microscope, industrial scale bioreactors among others.
