This Biochemistry听BSc/MSci degrees offer听you the opportunity to look听at life at the molecular level, from nucleic acid and protein structure to cell signalling and metabolism,听in one of the world鈥檚 greatest centres for biochemistry. We have a strong focus on computational analysis using super computers and students have the opportunity to compare some of their research findings to similar studies from around the world.听
Unlike similar programmes, UCL students听have the opportunity to undertake two research projects in their third year
The course also features options to extend to a听four-year Biochemistry听MSci.听Unlike similar programmes, UCL students听have the opportunity to undertake two research projects in their third year. Fourth-year students are able to choose their own research topics and to lead that research in a working lab.
BSc Molecular Biology (2nd year entry)
Similar to Biochemistry, Molecular Biology is a look at life at the molecular level but concentrates more on the genome and proteome, structure-function and regulation.听
There is a little less chemistry involved in this subject, but with greater emphasis on the detailed control of gene expression and protein function. It is a major area of biomedical research at both the molecular and cellular levels.
After completing the first year of BSc Biochemistry or BSc Biomedical Sciences, it is possible to transfer on to the BSc Molecular Biology specialist degree.
MRes Biosciences
The MRes in Biosciences provides the opportunity to undertake a major research project in Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Computational Biology, Stem Cells and Developmental Biology or Structural Biology.听Students will听develop the generic skills required for the written and verbal communication of science.听The programme is designed for students who wish to undertake a PhD degree or to convert from other relevant disciplines and for those who wish to enter employment in an advanced capacity in industry or the public sector in the field of Bioscience.
Students can choose to graduate from one of twelve specialist areas which include Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Computational Biology, Stem Cells and Developmental Biology and听Structural Biology
Postgraduate opportunities
SMB听PhD Programme
PhD opportunities in structural and molecular biology reflect the specialist research topics of over 30 academic staff conducting world-class research in the department.听PhD student projects range from听
Prospective students are warmly encouraged to review the many research topics in the department and to make early contact with academic staff {link to staff} researching areas of particular interest.

SMB Fellowships
Fellowships are personal awards from an external funder, which support scientists in developing their careers and tackling the major research questions in their fields. SMB听supports fellows at听both postdoctoral and junior group leader levels.
SMB Post Doctoral Researchers
SMB is committed to supporting the training and development of our postdoctoral researchers. We provide听resources for developing research skills, career development, and funding for current and prospective postdocs.听
We are proud to say that many of our postdoctoral students have gone on to join our community permanently.听
