Biochemistry (4 years) [MSci] MSci

Our MSci Biochemistry course will enable you to achieve an integrated master's degree while you study for a BSc, giving you significant research experience that will be invaluable for a PhD and a career in research.Many exciting discoveries made in this area have contributed to our understanding of life, the solving of medical problems, and to the discovery and production of safe and effective drugs.In the first three years of the course, you will learn about topics such as the structure of biomolecules, and how they interact in essential processes and pathways in our cells.You will also study the actions of enzymes, and how they can be inhibited by drugs, as well as genetic engineering and molecular biology.In the final year of this four-year course, you will undertake a major research project, culminating in the award of an undergraduate master's qualification.Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
