Biochemistry will help you face some of the greatest issues of our time, from the discovery of vaccines and drugs to treat diseases, through to the development of green biofuels and drought-resistant crops. On this course, taught by world-leading experts, you’ll build the theoretical knowledge and skillset, critical to addressing these challenges. You’ll develop a deep understanding of biochemical reaction mechanisms, genetic engineering, protein structure and function, biophysical methods and biochemistry of health and disease, whilst gaining subject-specific skills highly valued by prospective employers. This course has excellent career prospects with graduates entering a range of scientific and non-scientific careers with top employers.You can tailor the course to suit your interests by combining your study of core biochemistry modules with a choice of optional and discovery modules.This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project. You may also choose to apply for our 3 year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance.**Course highlights:**- Develop your skills in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, biotechnology, and microbiology.- Gain practical experience through our year in industry programme.- Learn how to think rationally and scientifically, to analyse and understand data and to communicate effectively.- Carry out an independent research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing the transferable skills that will set you apart in the graduate job market.
