MSci生物化学与医学生物化学

本课程将使您沉浸在开创性的研究中，并使您有机会为可能对后代产生重大影响的工作做出贡献。它提供了广泛的主题，使您可以在发展知识和研究技能的同时选择自己的专业。在头两年中，您将以与医学有关的单元（例如药理学，生理学和分子病理学）来补充对生物化学的研究。您的第三年侧重于生物化学的医学相关方面，例如与癌症，心血管疾病和药物设计有关的方面。在您的第四年，您将在研究组负责人的监督下进行长达16周的扩展的，单独的实验室研究项目。您还将研究发育和疾病的细胞生物学，以及合成生物学或蛋白质装配体和分子机器的选择。
Biochemists study the molecular basis of life. This underpins our fundamental understanding of human health and disease and also supports applied science like drug discovery, diagnostics and biotechnology. Our Biochemistry course immerses you in ground-breaking research and gives you the opportunity to develop high-level analytical and problem-solving skills that prepare you for a diverse range of careers.<br><br>The centrepiece of the MSci Biochemistry degree is an extended research project that allows you to develop in-depth expertise in your area of specialism and acquire the skills required to embark on a research career. The MSci covers all the major aspects of biochemistry with an emphasis on cutting-edge research.<br><br>In your first two years you will supplement your study of biochemistry with optional units relevant to medicine such as pharmacology, physiology and molecular pathology. Your third year focuses on medically relevant aspects of biochemistry, such as those relating to cancer, cardiovascular disease and drug design. You will also participate in a laboratory-based research training unit where you will develop the skills needed to define and solve research problems.<br><br>This prepares you for a research-intensive fourth year, where you will spend up to 16 weeks on an individual research project under the supervision of one of our research group leaders.<br><br>You will learn about the context in which scientific research is undertaken through the Science and Society unit and complete your studies by choosing two advanced units, which could include Synthetic Biology, Cell Biology of Development and Disease, and Protein Assemblies and Molecular Machines.<br><br>We focus on the development of your practical and research skills throughout the first two years. We also offer summer studentships and subject-specific employability and enterprise sessions. Recent graduate destinations from our biochemistry courses include higher degrees such as a PhD, the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology companies, research institutes, the NHS, graduate medicine, teaching, forensics, civil service, medical publishing, finance, business consultancy, patent law, science communications and more.
