Change the face of our world
Learn how advances in molecular analysis are changing the face of medicine, agriculture, horticulture and ecology – and how you can help.
Molecular cell biology encompasses a hugely important area of study for the 21st century.
It unifies many disciplines, ranging from cell biology, physiology and chemistry to computer science, and from patent law and medicine, to bioprotection and food production. It underpins many exciting and dynamic industries that are changing rapidly.
Your lecturers in the BSc will present relevant cutting-edge examples from their own research. They will help you develop the skills and knowledge to become molecular biological scientists of the future.
The university Manawatū campus will connect you with a wider teaching and research environment of applied (biomedical, veterinary science, food science, agriculture) and traditional biology disciplines.
