Masters and PhD programmes

The Department of Biochemistry offers an MPhil programme (1 year full-time, 2 years part-time) and a PhD programme (3 to 4 years full-time, 5 years part-time). Both programmes are research-based with students undertaking a research project agreed with their Principal Investigator. A written dissertation is examined via an oral examination. Successful students gain a pass and there are no grades.

Postgraduate training in Biochemistry is designed to train students to be effective and professional scientists competent in all core steps of research science.
