This programme aims to augment the undergraduate education of those who complete it through a combination of advanced scientific knowledge, interpersonal, research and management skills.
The proposed curriculum will improve employability by developing the postgraduate skills required for a successful transition to industry or a research role in academia. This will be achieved through the delivery of masters-level taught elements as well as the completion of novel, industrially relevant research projects.
