Analytical Biosciences
International students can apply
and Drug Design MSc (one year full-time or two to three years part-time)
3 good reasons to study Analytical Biosciences and Drug Design at Salford • Train for a career in the newly emerging industries of the post-genomic era • Work at the interface between biology and chemistry - a truly multidisciplinary Masters degree • Excellent career prospects in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
Programme details
Analytical bioscience - the investigation of biomolecules as exploitable biomarkers is a growing field, driven by improving analytical methods with increasing sensitivity. Following completion of the Human Genome Project, the pharmaceutical industry is preparing for a revolution in cancer and inherited disorder therapies.
This programme is training a new generation of bioscientists to meet challenges at the interface between biology and chemistry, and to apply pharmaceutical and analytical knowledge directly to improve quality of life.
Module titles
• Separation Science • Spectroscopy and Spectrometry • Structural Bioinformatics, Proteomics and Microarrays
• Drug Discovery, Design and Development
• Advanced Mass Spectrometry • Advanced Drug Synthesis • Identification of Important Natural Products
• Anticancer Drugs and Chemotherapy
A supervised research project forms the subject of the dissertation
Suitable for
This programme is aimed at students who wish to acquire the specialised skills needed to design drugs for the 21st century.
Career potential
Although particularly relevant to those looking for a career in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, this programme will also equip students for a career in research, teaching and many other professions in which biology and chemistry are important components. These include cosmetic science, animal health, food science, medical laboratory research, patent law, scientific journalism and health and safety.
Applied GIS
International students can apply
and Remote Sensing MSc (one year full-time or two to three years part-time)
3 good reasons to study Applied Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing at Salford • Integrate GIS skills with the power of satellite remote sensing • Work with tutors with international research profiles in GIS and remote sensing • Environmentally-oriented training in GIS, unique in northern England
Programme details
This programme focuses on collection, management and analysis of spatial data, and the development of technical and professional skills that can be used in the workplace or in research. No previous knowledge of GIS or remote sensing is required. A part-time route is available for those in employment who wish to develop new skills, or to refresh their knowledge in these areas.
Core topics include ArcView and Erdas Imagine software training, applications of very high spatial resolution satellite data, new remote sensing techniques including ground based and airborne LiDAR applications, spatial data analysis and visualisation, digital terrain modelling, and a project, working with a research or industrial partner.
Module titles
Taught modules include: • Environmental Remote Sensing • Environmental GIS • Spatial Data Analysis and Visualisation
Options include: • Environmental Impact Assessment • Risk - Nature and Assessment • Environmental Modelling • Sustainable Waste Management • Integrated Water Resources Management
• Climate Change: Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation
• Programming Techniques and Algorithms
Suitable for This programme is for graduates in geography, environmental science and related areas, who wish to develop their knowledge of the principles and applications of geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing to solve real-world environmental problems.
Career potential
Geographical information systems and remote sensing are now key technologies in a range of fields including landscape and ecological surveying, water resource management, forestry and conservation and rural and urban planning. Employers in these areas expect prospective employees to be equipped with high-level skills and to know how to incorporate GIS and remote sensing to solve real-world problems. This programme will provide you with the practical experience, specialist knowledge and problem-solving skills to pursue careers in any of these fields.
