Overview

Immerse yourself in the wonder of biological organisms and processes at the molecular level. Explore aspects of life from molecules to cells, from tissues to organisms. Learn from leading research scientists who are specialists in their fields of study.â€¯

Our Biochemistry degrees at University of East Anglia are taught jointly by the Schools of Biological Sciences and Chemistry, with invaluable contributions from scientists from other research institutions located nearby in the Norwich Research Park. This dual approach means that in all elements of the course you benefit from subject-specific experts who inform our teaching. On the Masters in Biochemistry course, you’ll follow the sameâ€¯programmeâ€¯as our BSc students, but you’ll complete a further year of advanced, Masters-level study.

This course will prepare you to work in industry or to progress to a postgraduate degree and a career in research. Having learned on this course about cutting edge methods in synthetic, chemical and structural biology, you’ll have the potential to make an impact on many areas of contemporary science, including health, nutrition, clean energy and tackling pollution.â€¯ Biochemists are frequent winners of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry and Michael Houghton, an alumnus of the UEA School of Biological Sciences and Biochemistry PhD, won the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2020.
