Course summary

Biochemistry sits at the boundary between the physical and life sciences. It concerns the molecular basis of health and disease, contributing to the discovery of new medicines, the growth of biotechnology, and the feeding of a growing population.You'll learn how knowledge of DNA sequences and appreciation of the structure and function of proteins are enabling us to better understand how living systems work, guiding the design of drugs to combat disease, and the engineering of biomolecules to enhance industrial processes. This integrated Masters course introduces a four-year programme that specifically focuses on the skills needed for a career as a research scientist. During this time you'll carry out an extended project and learn specialised techniques you'll gain experience in a research lab doing pioneering work at the forefront of their field. You'll also undertake specialist research training and take Masters-level modules. Adding a year in industry or a year abroad are options with this course, so you can benefit from the advantages that a year away can bring.
