Course Overview

Our postgraduate structural molecular biology courses provide you with excellent training and education in the core knowledge and skills required by scientists concerned with structural molecular biology methods relating to protein and cellular structural analysis.

MSc and Postgraduate Diploma in Structural Molecular Biology: The MSc and PG Dip are taught through a combination of on-campus and online teaching with lots of opportunities for you to gain hands-on experience in our world-class research laboratories. We offer you:

  • an in-depth introduction to the field of molecular bioscience

  • knowledge of the core areas of structural biology needed to study biological molecules and more complex samples

  • an opportunity to gain an understanding of molecular microbiology techniques

  • training in research skills, covering a wide range of laboratory methods as well as statistics and data handling.

On the MSc, you will then be able to extend your skills and knowledge further with the completion of an independent experimental research project within one of our research groups.

Graduates can pursue career paths in research, science writing, teaching, and academia. The course is also ideal for graduates already working in the industry, to enlarge their theoretical background and complement their practical experience.

You will find structural molecular biology graduates continuing their study to the Ph.D. level or progressing in careers in areas such as:

  • research, testing, product development, and quality assurance laboratories within universities and industry settings

  • the healthcare sector

  • education.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
