Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Learning outcomes
Students who graduate from Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge in the chemical and physical principles governing the structure and function of biomolecules. |
| 2 | Exhibit a deep and integrated understanding of the underlying principles and applications of current techniques and model systems commonly used in biochemistry and molecular biology. |
| 3 | Examine the relationships between biomolecules, cells and tissues in health and disease. |
| 4 | Execute laboratory-based experiments using acquired knowledge and technical expertise. |
| 5 | Collate, analyse and critically interpret biochemical data acquired through experimentation. |
| 6 | Source, collate and critically evaluate a range of information sources in biochemistry and molecular biology, from primary literature to multimedia. |
| 7 | Communicate biochemical concepts and findings through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 8 | Assess how molecules regulate living processes, using integrated knowledge of the structure, function and dynamics of biomolecules. |
| 9 | Implement ethical protocols and adhere to safe working conditions in their laboratory practice, including ensuring the accuracy, secure storage and curation of data. |
| 10 | Design an experimental plan in biochemistry and molecular biology, including: development of hypotheses and aims, identification of controls, and choice of relevant measurable outcomes. |
| 11 | Address authentic problems in biochemistry, working responsibly and ethically, and with consideration of social and cultural differences, in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
