Biochemistry is the study of molecular structures and interactions in living organisms. Biochemists seek to understand living organisms in terms of chemical reactions. The Master of Biochemistry (MBiol) is a four-year programme, in which students first follow the three-year BSc in Biochemistry and then continue into a fourth year, subject to performance.In the first three years, you’ll study a broad range of tailored modules including biochemical techniques, biomolecular structure, metabolism, cell biology and cell signalling, alongside the field of bioinformatics, multi-‘omics and molecular systems biology, with the opportunity to specialise and carry out your own research project.The fourth (Master’s) year aims at developing enhanced research and personal skills for students seeking a high-level career in research (e. g. studying for a PhD or working in industry) or those seeking to enhance their qualification. Students will join a research team to undertake a significant research project. Students can also apply for a six-week summer research internship in the UK or overseas or apply to spend time working in industry or in other enterprises in the final year.
