During the course youll learn about immunology, oncology, vascular biology and neuropathology. Youll also gain the vital skills and know-how needed to develop and manufacture biotherapeutics to improve patient outcomes and healthcare delivery, for example through the use of facilities at the state-of-the-art National Institute of Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT).
Benefit from a mix of learning formats
The course includes a mix of study and assessment formats such as in-class discussions, peer review, projects and presentations to give you a diverse and engaging learning experience. Towards the end of the programme, youll undertake a research project in an internal or external research group, or at your workplace.
Once you graduate, youll be sought after for roles in biotherapeutics, academia and healthcare. Youll also be an ideal candidate for BioTranslate, the structured PhD research programme in the DCU School of Biotechnology.
