Biochemistry MSci

Come and study at one of the largest Life Sciences departments in Europe. <br/><br/>Develop a deep understanding of Biochemistry on this four-year course, where you will acquire the key scientific skills required for a range of research-informed graduate careers in the Life Sciences. <br/><br/>You will study living systems at the molecular and cellular level and understand chemical processes within organisms. Through this work, you will gain a detailed knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of life and how an understanding of these underpins the development of solutions to key biological and biomedical problems. <br/><br/>Your studies will be complemented by a dedicated Life Science skills programme. This provides training in quantitative skills, programming, statistics, and scientific writing and presentation. <br/><br/>In year 3 of the degree you can specialise in areas including immunology and infection, systems biology, cancer, metabolic engineering, structural biology and drug design, cellular biophysics and neuroscience. <br/><br/>Laboratory and computational practical work will help you develop the skills to design and carry out biochemical experiments and analyse the resulting data. <br/><br/>With access to the thriving research environment at Imperial, you will be taught by world leaders as you learn how to solve complex real-world problems. <br/><br/>Your studies culminate in the final year with a seven month research project, complemented by research skills training to develop your ability to critically engage with current research topics and methodologies.
