MSc Clinical Biochemistry

Students will conduct a piece of empirical research that either addresses a specific research question in the field of clinical biochemistry or involves the development and evaluation of new or exciting analytical technologies. Each student will either complete a laboratory based research project in a NHS or university laboratory, or will complete an audit or extended literature review within the same time period. Students completing a laboratory project will spend 10 - 12 weeks full-time in the laboratory undertaking research and then producing a dissertation. The students will be required to undertake a literature review relevant to the project, which will be written up and form the introduction to the dissertation. The dissertation will also contain a clear and informed description of the methodologies employed and presentation and analysis of the data generated along with a logical, scientifically valid and robust discussion of the findings. Those completing an extended a literature review will be required to undertake a thorough systematic, critical appraisal of the scientific literature related to the subject. 

Marks and feedback will be provided online in accordance with the University of Manchester’s Policy on Feedback to Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Students
