MSc Microbiology

The Medical Biochemistry BSc (Hons) programme at the University of Lincoln provides students with a comprehensive foundation in modern biochemistry, alongside the development of applied laboratory and research skills. It combines elements of biology and chemistry to understand human health and diseases at the molecular level, equipping students for a promising career in biomedical sciences.Course Content: This programme covers a broad range of topics including cell biology, bioinformatics, human genetics, and medical immunology. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of biological processes and the chemical behavior of cellular molecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Within the course, students will also learn how to use a wide range of laboratory equipment and develop a comprehensive research project in their final year.Key Modules: Some of the key modules in the programme include Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Human Physiology, Bioinformatics and Genomics, Infection and Immunity, Medical Interpreting, and Molecular Endocrinology. In the final year, students will undertake an independent Medical Biochemistry research project.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology which provides assurance to employers and professional bodies recognising the academic rigor and the practical skills developed throughout the programme.Future Careers: Graduates from this course are well-positioned to pursue careers in clinical biochemistry, forensic science, medical research, biotechnology, and healthcare. The course provides a strong groundwork for further study in specialized biochemistry and related disciplines.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
