Biochemistry

If you wish to study Biochemistry then this exciting four-year course will be for you. It allows students to integrate three years of undergraduate study in Biochemistry with a further year of postgraduate level study, leading to the qualification of MBiol (Biochemistry). This course is ideal if you aspire to a career as a research scientist in Biochemistry or just wish to take your Biochemistry knowledge to a higher level. The advantage of choosing an integrated Masters degree is that you can apply for a four-year student loan for the full duration of the course, rather than seeking funding for a Masters after completing your first degree. This degree will give you a solid foundation in the study of cellular, molecular and chemical biology. The subject is taught within an internationally recognised centre of excellence, by experts in the Biochemistry field.

The University has modern teaching facilities with over £55 million pounds invested. The Biochemistry teaching staff are recognised as experts and innovative educators. Employability is embedded in our teaching. We are linked closely with the Biochemical society, which is a great platform for students to network with others in their discipline.
