Bioinformatics is an applied discipline that provides support in analysing and interpreting data from an array of disciplines such as genetics, molecular biology, chemistry etc., thus contributing to solve pressing problems related to human health and environment alike.

The BSc Honours in the field of Genetics and Developmental Biology exposes students to a range of experimental and analytical techniques fundamental to research at the molecular and cellular level. This is a 1 year full-time degree.

The BSc Honours in the field of Biochemistry and Cell Biology provides an understanding of the structure and function of important biological molecules. This knowledge can help develop new drugs to combat complex and deadly diseases affecting mankind.

The BSc Honours in the field of Microbiology and Biotechnology is a 1 year full-time degree. It guides students to critically examine and develop an appreciation of the integrative nature of biology, especially in its applications through biotechnology, disease biology and metagenomics.

The MSc by dissertation in Molecular and Cell Biology is offered in the School of Molecular and Cell Biology, with focus areas in Applied Bioinformatics, Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Genetics and Developmental Biology, and Microbiology and Biotechnology.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Science in the field of Applied Biosciences is offered by the School of Molecular and Cell Biology
