Course Overview
During the last century biophysics has provided us with structural insights into biomolecules as well as an understanding of the mechanisms by which they function. In the twenty-first century biophysics is now focused on creating solutions for major global problems such as food production, climate change, environmental damage, and drug production. This Biophysics and Molecular Life Sciences programme at University of Bristol provides interdisciplinary training at the interface of chemistry, physics and the life sciences, and is taught by active research staff drawn from all of these areas. The programme explores a variety of topics, including molecular structure determination, dynamic molecular mechanisms, molecular simulation, molecular design and single-molecule technologies. Emphasis is placed on practical experience as well as providing a strong theoretical background. Students will also learn about the process of commercialisation of research outcomes. Careers Biophysics is a wellspring of innovation for our high-tech economy and graduates are finding an increasing number of employment opportunities. Typically most biophysics careers are in a laboratory conducting original research, either in academia, government agency or private industry. Graduates from this programme will find that they have received excellent preparation for a PhD programme in biophysics or related fields. Additionally, the numerical and problem-solving skills learned on this programme, as well the ability to manage research and communicate effectively, are also important transferable skills that are highly desired by employers in a variety of industries.
