This four-year MSci degree will equip you with a strong understanding of biochemical systems, and hands-on research experience. In Years 1-3 you will follow the same programme as Biochemistry BSc students: taught by world-leading academics, you will achieve an advanced understanding of the systems underpinning the molecular processes of life. In Year 1, you will build the broad foundations of your biochemical expertise studying a range of biological systems from molecules to populations, alongside biochemistry, data analysis and skills modules. In Years 2 and 3, you will build on this to achieve an advanced understanding of the structure and function of biological molecules, and their roles in cellular mechanisms. You will develop practical laboratory and computational skills, along with research, statistical, and analytical problem-solving abilities. The course also emphasises the development of transferable professional skills like teamwork, communication, critical thinking and data analysis. In the final year, you will do an independent research project, joining a research group within the Department of Structural and Molecular Biology. In addition to skills acquired in the BSc degree, the MSci provides hands-on training in all aspects of scientific research that is particularly valuable for those wishing to pursue a career in this area.
