Biochemistry (MSci)

Learn about the molecular foundations of life itself and gain advanced biosciences knowledge and skills on this integrated MSci Biochemistry course.

Molecules are at the centre of all life, from the smallest virus to the largest animal. Biochemists seek to understand how molecular processes control life at various levels. How do molecules make cells work? How do these cells coordinate in an organ? How do these organs signal and work together for life to function?

Biochemistry is at the forefront of understanding how molecules control and affect life. An appreciation of these concepts allows biochemists to answer life’s fundamental questions and contribute to resolving critical biological problems, such as designing drugs to treat cancer or even bacteria that can clean up an oil spill.

The MSci follows the standard undergraduate curriculum but with an additional year of study and a master's level qualification.
