MSc Programmes
MSc in Computational Biology - To help meet the demand for well-trained bioinformaticists, the School of Computing Sciences and the School of Biological Sciences at the UEA offer a one-year MSc in Bioinformatics. The course benefits from a significant contribution from members of the world renowned John Innes Centre and the Institute of Food Research (IFR).
MSc in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement - This one-year MSc course provides training for students who wish to undertake a further degree in plant molecular genetics, or a career in crop improvement. The course focuses on plant molecular genetics, and its possible applications to crop improvement in the 21st century.
The course is run jointly by staff at the School of Biological Sciences at UEA and the John Innes Centre which also includes the Sainsbury Laboratory. The John Innes Centre is one of the world's leading research institutes in plant genetics and crop improvement.
The teaching staff includes members of the School of Biological Sciences together with scientists from the John Innes Centre and a number of leading plant breeding and plant biotechnology companies within the UK.
In recent years the career prospects for MSc graduates have been very good, either by undertaking a Ph.D, or employment within the plant breeding industry.
This course provides students with a unique opportunity to study plant genetics and crop improvement in an environment of academic and research excellence.
