Programme description
Our PhD Biochemistry programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Biochemistry.
A biochemical approach aims to understand the chemical processes that occur in plants and animals. It forms the basis for investigating the function and properties of molecules, cells, tissues and whole organisms, under normal and abnormal conditions and in response to their changing environment.
Examples include:
Teaching and learning
PhD/MPhil programmes are based on individual research projects that last three to four years (PhD), working with a specific Primary Supervisor and Co-Supervisor(s).
Applicants are specifically matched with a Primary Supervisor and individual project based on their research interests and background.
Career opportunities
Your postgraduate research degree will open up a range of career opportunities after you graduate.
We require applicants to hold, or be about to obtain, an Upper Second class Honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in a related subject area for entry to a PhD programme. A Lower Second class Honours degree may be considered if applicants also hold a Master's degree with a Merit classification.
