通过一年在工业，商业或研究环境中的学习，可以提高您的本科学位。生物化学位于生物学和医学之间的界面。无论是单细胞细菌还是人类发现的数万亿个细胞，细胞的所有基本过程都在生化水平发生。了解这些过程可以为从生命进化到针对糖尿病，癌症和肥胖症等常见疾病的治疗方法的研究对象提供洞察力。拥有Aberdeen Biochemistry学位的人们将在任何一天分析水样中的污染物，设计新的救生药物，生产新的纳米技术，检查食品和饮料中的营养成分，帮助人们在IVF诊所受孕或向实验室出售科学设备世界各地。
Enhance your undergraduate degree with a year's placement in an industrial, commercial or research environment.Biochemistry lies at the interface between biology and medicine. Whether it be single-celled bacteria or the trillions of cells found in humans, all of the fundamental processes of the cell happen at the biochemical level. Understanding these processes can provide insights into subjects ranging from the evolution of life to developing treatments for common conditions such as diabetes, cancer and obesity.<br>On any given day people who graduated with an Aberdeen Biochemistry degree will be analysing water samples for pollution, designing new life saving medicines, producing new nanotechnologies, examining nutrient content in food and drink, helping people conceive in IVF clinics or selling scientific equipment to labs around the world.<br>This degree programme covers many areas of biochemistry at the molecular, cellular and organ system levels. Additionally, you will gain an in depth understanding of selected aspects of biochemistry which will reflect the research expertise and strengths within the University.<br>In your fourth year you will undertake a year's industrial placement and graduate after five years with an MSci (an undergraduate Masters degree) instead of a BSc. Placements vary considerably but, in general terms, you will have the opportunity to do a placement in an industrial, commercial or research environment where you will be able to develop a breadth of practical experience to complement your degree programme and enhance your employability.
