Biochemistry, MBiolSci (Hons)

Our four-year MBiolSci Biochemistry course is ideal for aspiring research careers in industry or academia. Delve into the molecular basis of life—cells, proteins, DNA, and their interactions—while exploring biochemistry's role in medical discoveries, including proteins, enzymes, hormones, and receptors. Apply this knowledge to global challenges like sustainable food production, healthy ageing, and drug design. At Sheffield, develop creativity and independence through labs in molecular genetics, DNA manipulation, and protein analysis, plus IT solutions for issues like disease detection.Specialize in biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, or biotechnology, gaining practical skills in project management, problem-solving, data analysis, and communication. Culminate in a third-year project (lab-based, modelling, education, or communication) and a fourth-year major research project, earning an integrated master's. Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, it equips you with employer-valued skills.
