Biotechnology and Computational Biology MSc

King's College London, University of London

The MSc/MRes in Biotechnology & Computational Biology is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to integrate experimental and computational approaches (including artificial intelligence) to address complex challenges in molecular and cellular biotechnology. These interdisciplinary skills are increasingly essential across academia and industry as biotechnology and data-driven research continue to transform the life sciences landscape. Key benefits Designed to develop independent, critically minded scientists ready to contribute to cutting-edge research, innovation, and entrepreneurship in biotechnology. Students will gain advanced knowledge of cutting-edge research in interdisciplinary science, to enable them to solve problems by integrating experimental biotechnology and computational methods. Hands-on experience in both wet and dry labs will be provided through bespoke modules developed with input from industrial partners, each incorporating experimental and computational components. Undertake an extended research project (six months for the MSc and nine months for the MRes) to consolidate their skills and gain first-hand experience in a world-class research environment. Dedicated training in transferable skills-such as problem solving, scientific communication, and data analysis using modern tools. The programme draws on a vibrant network of industrial partners and external organisations, offering diverse opportunities for engagement and collaboration.
