Biochemistry, MSci (Hons)

Biochemistry explores the molecular structure and function of living organisms, serving as a dynamic and essential discipline in biology and medicine. Lancaster University's four-year MSci Biochemistry programme integrates core modules in biochemistry and chemistry with related subjects, offering three years of undergraduate study followed by a master's-level year. This extended qualification can improve career opportunities or help determine if research is a suitable path.In the first year, students gain a broad foundation in biology, chemistry, and modern biochemical concepts. The second year emphasises biochemistry modules alongside practical training in laboratory skills essential for biochemists. The fourth year involves advanced master's-level study, including an in-depth research project guided by renowned academics. Excellent facilities, bolstered by a £4 million investment in life science laboratories, support hands-on learning and dissertation work.
