Master’s Degree in Biochemistry
General objective
The master’s degree in biochemistry positions you to:
- Become more competitive for laboratory professions in academia or industry
- Strengthen your skills and knowledge base for medical or dental school
- Continue in a doctoral program in biochemistry or other biomedical science
The Biochemistry is a course-and-research-based program. Laboratory rotations provide you opportunities to collaborate and hands-on experience in lab techniques. Once you have chosen a lab, you will carry out research and submit a project summary to your mentor. Most candidates complete the degree requirements in two years.
Learning Objectives and Intended Skills
Over the Master in Biochemistry the student will acquire skills that will enable it to:
-Demonstrate advanced knowledge in Biochemistry and apply them in solving specific problems in new situations and extended and multidisciplinary contexts.
