Biochemistry

Biochemists study the molecular basis of life. This underpins our fundamental understanding of human health and disease and also supports applied science like drug discovery, diagnostics and biotechnology. Our Biochemistry course immerses you in ground-breaking research and gives you the opportunity to develop high-level analytical and problem-solving skills that prepare you for a diverse range of careers.

The first two years of the MSci are identical to our BSc programmes. You can tailor the course to suit your interests by combining your study of biochemistry with a choice of optional units. These currently include topics such as infectious disease, microbiology, pharmacology and physiology.

Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, interactive workshops and small-group tutorials, and we achieve excellent student satisfaction. We focus on the development of your practical and research skills throughout the first two years.
