73 PhD programmes in Biochemistry in Europe

The Biochemical Engineering programme at University College London (UCL) trains the bioprocess engineering leaders of the future who will underpin the translation of new scientific advances into safe, selective and manufacturable therapies for often currently intractable conditions, but at affordable costs.

The research in the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology at Uppsala University is essentially basic, but with relevance and application in health and disease in both animals and humans.

This Biochemistry programme from Masaryk University prepares highly-qualified specialists for further working in the field of biochemistry. The student will get necessary theoretical background and skills to realize his/her own research project in a research group under the guidance of a supervisor.

The Biochemistry and Biophysics programme offered by Stockholm University develops advanced research expertise in the molecular structure and function of biological systems.

The aim of The Molecular Signal Transduction at Medical University of Vienna is to provide outstanding training opportunities for the understanding of the molecular physiology of cellular signal transduction, and pathological alterations therein for students.

Biochemistry has a long history at Uppsala University, with roots in the research established by the chemists The Svedberg and Arne Tiselius, both Nobel Laureates and among the internationally most prominent scientists from Sweden.

The Department of Biochemistry and Systems Biology at University of Liverpool, the oldest in Europe, has been a beacon of excellence for teaching and research since it was created in 1905. 

This Biochemistry course at the University of Oxford is taking part in a continuing pilot programme to improve the selection procedure for graduate applications, in order to ensure that all candidates are evaluated fairly.

The Biochemistry programme from University of Cambridge students are based in a research group and undertake a research project agreed with the principal investigator (supervisor). Each student also has additional mentorship support from an advisor and a Postgraduate Thesis Panel.

The program of study at Tor Vergata University of Rome is designed to prepare students for productive careers in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; its emphasis is training in research, and each student works closely with members of the staff. 


Biochemical Process Engineering at Luleå University of Technology focuses on the development of biochemical processes for the production and refinement of chemicals, fuels and material from biomass.

The graduates of Clinical Biochemistry programme from Pavol Jozef Safárik University in Kosice show extensive professional and methodological knowledge from numerous areas of the field of study at the level of synthesis and evaluation. 

Graduates of  Biochemistry programme from Pavol Jozef Safárik University in Kosice are able to work independently and show a creative scientific approach. They have a systematic, comprehensive knowledge in the fields of biochemistry, molecular chemistry and clinical biochemistry, including an understanding of the interrelationships between these fields and with other related disciplines.
