Biochemistry

About this programme

Biochemistry sits at the centre of modern science. It explores how living organisms work at a molecular level - from how cells produce energy and communicate, to how diseases develop and how new medicines are created. At the University of Lincoln, the MBio Biochemistry degree combines biology and chemistry with hands-on laboratory experience, research training, and real-world scientific problem-solving. You'll study everything from genetics and molecular biology to pharmacology, biotechnology, and clinical biochemistry, while developing the practical and analytical skills employers look for across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and scientific research. What makes Lincoln different is the opportunity to become part of an active research environment from an early stage. Rather than only learning theory, you'll work alongside research-active academics, develop advanced laboratory techniques, and complete substantial research projects designed to prepare you for postgraduate study, scientific careers, or specialist industry roles. This integrated Master's degree gives you an additional year of advanced research training, helping you graduate with deeper expertise, stronger employability, and greater confidence entering competitive scientific careers. The lecturers made the content easy to understand and interesting, while the practical sessions were a fantastic opportunity to see the theory learned in lectures applied in a real-life situation.
