MSci Biochemistry with a Year Abroad
University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich
Course overview
Immerse yourself in the wonder of biological organisms and processes at the molecular level. Explore all aspects of life from molecules to cells, tissues and organisms, right up to populations and ecosystems. Learn from leading research scientists who are specialists in their fields of study.
Study biochemistry abroad, gaining a unique, career-shaping insight into the teaching, research and culture of another country. Our biochemistry degrees are taught jointly by the Schools of Biological Sciences and Chemistry. This dual approach means that in all elements of the course you benefit from subject-specific experts who inform our undergraduate teaching.
During your time at UEA, you’ll have the chance to study a range of fascinating subjects, progressing from the basics of biochemistry to higher-level research areas such as protein engineering and cancer biology. You’ll not only learn how to perform ground-breaking and highly specialised research, but also how to interpret and communicate these findings to the wider scientific community. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to spend a year studying abroad at a partner university in Europe, Asia, Australasia, or North America.
