Molecular and Cellular Biology, BSc (Hons)

Molecular and Cellular Biology is a foundational discipline that explores the essence of all living organisms by integrating biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology. This dynamic field elucidates how molecular functions drive the structure of cells, tissues, and entire organisms, fueling advancements like genome projects. These innovations have transformed medical science, agriculture, and industry, including insights into disease mechanisms, plant biotechnology, and genetic engineering for vaccine development, making it a captivating area of study.At the University of Glasgow, the program emphasizes research-led teaching, with content regularly updated by leading experts from our institutes. From the first year, it builds practical skills in problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking through hands-on classes in modern molecular techniques, which align with lectures to reinforce learning. We actively support students in pursuing summer internships, both locally and beyond.
