Program Overview

Our MBio Biochemistry degree takes a research-centred approach to teaching and learning, providing the opportunity to work closely with academics on collaborative research projects. Advances in biochemical research have led to greater understanding of metabolic regulation, cell signalling, disease biology, drug development and genetics, and have revolutionised the biotechnology industry. This course examines the chemistry of life at a molecular level and reflects the University’s expertise in pharmacology, biomedical science, biology and biotechnology. Students have the opportunity to develop skills in practical laboratory techniques, data interpretation, critical analysis, computational skills allied to biochemistry and scientific writing.
