Biochemistry with a Year Abroad Msci (Hon)

**Overview**<br/>Immerse yourself in the wonder of biological organisms and processes at the molecular level. Explore all aspects of life from molecules to cells, tissues and organisms, right up to populations and ecosystems. Learn from leading research scientists who are specialists in their fields of study. Study biochemistry abroad, gaining a unique, career-shaping insight into the teaching, research and culture of another country.  <br/><br/>Our biochemistry degrees are taught jointly by the Schools of Biological Sciences and Chemistry. This dual approach means that in all elements of the course you benefit from subject-specific experts who inform our undergraduate teaching.  <br/><br/>During your time at UEA, you’ll have the chance to study a range of fascinating subjects, progressing from the basics of biochemistry to higher-level research areas such as protein engineering and cancer biology. You’ll not only learn how to perform ground-breaking and highly specialised research, but also how to interpret and communicate these findings to the wider scientific community. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to spend a year studying abroad at a partner university in Europe, Asia, Australasia, or North America. <br/><br/>You’ll benefit from our enviable position as an integral partner of the Norwich Research Park, which is also home to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and independent, world-renowned research institutes such as the John Innes Centre, the Sainsbury Laboratory, and the Earlham and Quadram Institutes.  <br/><br/>This course will prepare you to work in industry or to progress to a postgraduate degree and a career in research. Having learned on this course about cutting edge methods in synthetic, chemical and structural biology, you’ll have the potential to make an impact on many areas of contemporary science, including health, nutrition, clean energy and tackling pollution.  Biochemists are frequent winners of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry and Michael Houghton, an alumnus of the UEA School of Biological Sciences and Biochemistry PhD, won the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2020. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
