Course Description
Biochemistry – applying molecular concepts to complex biological systems – is the cutting edge of science in the 21st century.
At Queen Mary, you’ll be taught by world-leading researchers in both biology and chemistry, from two separate schools. You’ll develop advanced scientific understanding of both disciplines, and improve your practical skills with high-level lab work.
You’ll learn about key biochemical processes and the chemistry that underpins them, as well as studying real-world applications in biotechnology and medicine. Optional modules in the second and third years let you direct your studies to the areas that interest you most.
Choose your own pathway through this degree - you can add a year in industry or studying abroad, or carry out an additional year of advanced study to graduate with an MSci.
