Biochemistry (by Research) MSc
Oxford University
Nicholas, November 2007Overall score
I would definitely recommend my course to others, it gave me a wide range of experiences and the 4th year project gives a real insight into the practice of academic research. One piece of advice I would give to others is to be prepared for lots of maths and physics.
Study experience
Lectures are given by world leaders in the specialist area which means you are taught to the highest possible standard.
Facilities
Postgraduate life
There are over 300 clubs at the freshers fairs.

Biochemistry Dphil
Oxford University
Katharine, November 2007Overall score
I have loved the traditional style of Oxford, the chance to have individual tutorials and the world renowned scientists who leacture. It can be daunting and stressful at times but by carrying on trying you can always overcome those times.
Study experience
9-12 hours lectures, quite hard work but always inspiring. Lectures are generally helpful and tutorials give lots of chances to ask questions.
Facilities
Amazing facilities, many different libraries, plenty of computers. The bars are great and there are lots of different sport facilities.
Postgraduate life
Hundreds, you can do anything! I sing with a choir and have helped with charity work in the past. The Oxford union (a debating and social society) has a lot of invited famous speakers.
Job prospects
Lots of opportunities for further study and high recruitment rates. Studying at Oxford has made me sure about what I want to do with my life!

Biochemistry PhD
University Of Leicester
Kirandeep, June 2008Overall score
University of leicester uni is an excellent place for undergraduate chemistry degree courses, with lots of help and supervision from all memebers of staff. However for postgraduate learning i think it depends on your supervisor and how much time they set aside for you, as without their help you can find yourself drifting away.
Study experience
Postgraduate course is good though hard work. only have leactuers in the first years, which are quite helpful and further my understanding.
Facilities
Library is quite good though under going some renovations currently. Plenty of computers everywhere and in the libaray and departments on campus. Bar is fairly good.
Postgraduate life
There are loads of clubs and socieities. Im not sure which is the best as im not a memeber myself.
Job prospects
Unsure as to what my future career will be, hence attending the careers fair. However i think the job prospect for students from leicester are quite high.
