Profile
The Master’s Programme in Chemistry, specialising in Biochemistry, provides you with a firm basis in advanced biochemistry covering all major areas, especially in the field of protein structure/function, macromolecular interactions, enzymology and protein engineering. It has been developed in cooperation with world leading research groups at Uppsala University and you will have lecturers who are leading experts in enzymology, X-ray crystallography, macromolecular interactions, systems biology and protein evolution and engineering.The Master’s Programme in Chemistry, specialising in Biochemistry, is partly taught together with the specialisation in Chemical Biology, but provides more in-depth advanced aspects of current biochemistry and associated experimental techniques. The breadth of current biochemical research allows you to perform your degree project in a dynamic and modern research environment, using state-of-the art equipment.Your studies will combine theoretical knowledge and practical skills in biochemistry and interfacing disciplines such as biotechnology and drug design, as well as insight into computational chemistry methods and protein crystallography. It includes the physical and chemical foundations to be able to take part in the research of the complex regulation of cellular signal transduction, cross-talk between proteins and possible linkage to diseases.The programme also prepares you to participate in the development of new solutions for sustainable production of more efficient drugs, fuels, and new materials. These are important research fields, and you will be well-equipped for either future research within academia or for research and development in industry.During the programme you can expect to:get a personal mentor who helps you prepare for your future careerhave lecturers who are leading experts in, among other areas, enzymology, X-ray crystallography, macromolecular interactions, systems biology and protein engineeringbe a part of a university with two Nobel prizes in chemistry.A degree from Uppsala University will give you close connection to excellent and world leading research and you will have the opportunity to develop a personal contact network.You will have a personal mentor who will invite you to seminars, group-meetings and other events in order to prepare you for your future career and you will meet PhD-students and post-docs who have come to Uppsala to be part of an excellent research environment to do cutting-edge research. Our research groups have a well-developed cooperation with other institutions and research agencies which is beneficial for you when choosing a project for the master thesis, and to make contacts for your future career.To give you even further experience in working in a research group, you can also choose the course Research training which will further develop your theoretical knowledge and experimental skills.Student profileYou are probably coming directly from your Bachelor’s degree or have had a relevant job to strengthen especially your experimental skills. In any case you have not forgotten too much of your broad chemistry base. Your university was well equipped with experimental facilities so you have good practical training working in a lab, and can select relevant methods and stay safe while doing experiments.You have an analytical mind and are able and willing to express your thoughts in both writing and speaking. You are extremely motivated and willing to take the responsibility needed to successfully complete your studies.A PhD education is a distinct possibility in your future so you would value coming into contact with current research and prominent researchers in the respective international field.
