Master of Biology in Medical Biochemistry

Program Overview

Medical biochemistry studies the structure and function of living things in relation to their application to medicine, covering biochemistry topics but with a focus on areas relating to human health and disease.

You could go on to have a huge medical and societal impact by both improving our fundamental understanding of complex diseases such as cancer, but also by developing effective medicines and technologies to facilitate their discovery.

You’ll be taught by our internationally renowned academics, instilling skills in you that are highly valued by employers. You’ll gain detailed scientific knowledge through topics in protein folding disease, oncology and immunology.

Our optional integrated Masters (MBiol) offers you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.

Course highlights:

Develop your skills in biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology, and cell and molecular biology.
Gain practical skills and industry experience through our year in industry programme.
Carry out an independent research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing the transferable skills that will set you apart in the graduate job market.
Develop a wide-range of transferable skills including the ability to think rationally and scientifically, to analyse and understand data, solve problems and to communicate effectively.
