This MSci Biochemistry course offered at The University of StrathclydeÊis the study of how cells work at molecular level. Together with the related field of Molecular Biology, Biochemistry provides important advances into understanding the molecular basis of life, and how alteration or disruption of these molecular pathways leads to disease processes.

This Masters degree is for students who want to specialise in a single biomedical science. ItÕs particularly relevant if you want to pursue a research career.

In Years 1 to 4, youÕll follow the same curriculum as one of the joint Honours bioscience degrees. In Year 5, youÕll focus on developing research skills and knowledge. A significant part of this course is project-based.
