Overview
Courses emphasize critical thinking, and frequent faculty contact. Students are free to design individual course schedules that focus on macromolecular structure, biochemistry, or molecular, cellular, and developmental biology.
Features
- By the end of the first year, Biochemistry students at University of Washington choose a thesis advisor and thesis project, and assemble a thesis committee of three to five faculty members who will provide advice throughout the period of doctoral work.
- We encourage applications from students in many different undergraduate majors, because the challenges of modern biochemistry demand interdisciplinary skills. However, most applicants have completed undergraduate courses in calculus, general physics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, or an advanced quantitative science such as physical chemistry.
Programme Structure
Research
- Thesis research dominates the second and third years, although students often take a few additional courses.
- The department considers teaching experience to be an essential aspect of graduate education, so all students also serve as teaching assistants in two different courses, each lasting one academic quarter.
- Thesis research is usually completed, and the thesis written, during the fifth year.
