Master of Science in Biochemistry

Kuwait University's Department of Biological Sciences offers this Master of Science in Biochemistry as a research-based graduate program continuing the university's work in biotechnology-adjacent fields. The degree targets students with an undergraduate background in biochemistry or a closely related chemical or biological science who want to move into advanced laboratory research. Eligible applicants hold a Bachelor of Science with a major or minor in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry or Pharmaceutical Sciences, need a minimum GPA of 2.67 on a 4.0 scale, English proficiency evidence, and must sit the university's admission exam. The program accepts part-time students but does not admit current undergraduates, non-degree students or PAAET graduates, and runs with a small annual intake of five students, drawing on a wide faculty roster for research supervision. A program director and several committee members oversee the degree, supported by downloadable major sheets that lay out the full course requirements for admitted students.
