Introduction
An MPhil in Biochemistry is a research-focused postgraduate degree that explores the chemical processes and molecular mechanisms underlying life. The program emphasizes understanding how biomolecules such as proteins, enzymes, lipids, and nucleic acids contribute to cellular function, metabolism, and disease.
Students engage in advanced coursework and independent research, developing expertise in techniques like enzyme kinetics, molecular biology, protein purification, and spectroscopy. The program typically culminates in a research thesis based on original laboratory work.
