Biochemical research underpins a great deal of the core knowledge in life sciences. In particular, the discipline has helped illuminate many of the problems that have fascinated and perplexed molecular bioscientists. The Biochemistry MSci - premised on research - provides an invaluable foundation for postgraduate study or a dynamic career within this area.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
In the first year of the degree you will take compulsory modules similar to those taken in the first year of other biosciences programmes. This will provide a firm interdisciplinary foundation for your studies. In year two you will take a number of compulsory modules, with some optional module flexibility. This flexibility will increase in year three so you can focus your studies on your preferred area of interest within the discipline.
Year three starts to build an integrated, research-based platform for the discovery of research skills and advanced molecular biosciences. It involves an advanced research project module and a compulsory literature-analysis project. It will prepare you for your final year, which is research intensive.
The final year of your degree will focus principally on an extended (90 credit) research project. It will be supplemented by a research techniques module and a dissertation.
Upon successful completion of 480 credits, you will be awarded a MSci (Hons) in Biochemistry.
