1 Programme Specification MSc in Molecular Genetics Entry-level Honours degree in Bioscience subject or a science degree with a relevant bioscience component. Overall minimum level 2:2. International applicants with a wide variety of degree types and structures are dealt with on an individual basis. Aims and objectives The MSc Course aims: To respond to an international need for scientists that can apply a molecular approach to fundamental research in the biomedical arena. To prepare graduates for employment as scientists either by direct entry or by further study such as PhD. To teach research skills to ensure that students are equipped to develop a career in science To give students a direct experience of research during a Six month project placement in a University research laboratory or with an equivalent placement at collaborating industrial partner such as a research facility at a major drug company. To provide a positive learning environment where students can actively participate in their academic development. Students should be able to: Show core knowledge of prokaryote and eukaryote genetics, and molecular biology of the cell Demonstrate an in depth knowledge of examples of molecular mechanisms in many areas of cell biology. Use research skills including the ability to design experiments, show knowledge of molecular techniques, analyse data, and review literature critically Show good laboratory skills including the application of molecular techniques and statistical methods Use transferable skills in oral presentations, report writing, and the use of information technology Demonstrate experience of research through a six -month project placement in a research laboratory. Programme quality indicators: QAA subject review [www/qaa.org/.] Recent external examiners reports for this course have been highly complimentary Student feedback forms Some of the most relevant quality indicators are the academic details of recruits and their forward placement after the course: MSc Molecular genetics attracts a truly international range of applicants (These students have first degrees typically in medicine, microbiology, biochemistry and vetinerinary science). Apart from one student in who had a Chevening Award, these students are all self funding as we have no course scholarships or fee waivers. They are all high achievers, Internet literate and will go to whatever country or institution they believe will be best for their further education. 1
2 total of 10 students, 7 international (outside EU) students recruited, one of whom Leicester retained as 3 year self funding Phd student (this student is Iranian and is in clinical sciences) total of 16 students, 10 international (outside EU) students recruited two of whom Leicester have retained as 3 year self funding Phd students (these students are from Mexico and Taiwan and are in Genetics and Biochemistry respectively) total of 32 students, 21 international (outside EU) recruited [countries of origin include India (10), PR China (6), Saudi Arabia (1), Bangladesh (1), Thailand (1) UAE (1) and Nigeria (1)). The student from Saudi Arabia will undertake a Saudi Government funded 4year placement (continuing with a PhD in Immunology) after successful completion of this MSc year and I hope others from this cohort will also eventually become self funding PhD students at Leicester. Out of a total of 26 MSc students that have graduated over the last two years ( ) 7 are continuing with PhD study within the Faculty of Medicine and Biological Sciences of which 3 of are self funding (mentioned above) and one is on a Joint Astra-Zeneca/University of Leicester studentship. A Further 12 Students from these 2 years have also obtained PhD studentships in Penn State University, USA, Switzerland, Cambridge, Glasgow (4 year Wellcome Program), Birmingham and the Institute of Animal Health or Research Assistantships/Technical positions at Oxford, Cardiff and London Hospitals. Five are still looking for permanent employment and two have long-term illnesses. 2
