2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biochemistry

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol.

The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities.

The biochemistry course immerses students in groundbreaking research and gives them the opportunity to contribute to work that could have a significant impact on future generations.

Students can tailor the course to suit their interests across all years by combining the study of biochemistry with a choice of options. In the first year these include anatomy, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology and physiology.

The second year combines biochemistry and molecular genetics with a choice of units, such as neurophysiology, infection and immunity, mathematics and languages.

In the final year students will select from a choice of advanced options in biochemistry, covering topics such as synthetic biology, neurobiochemistry and cancer.

The third-year research project will involve collaboration with internationally renowned scientists on pioneering work. Previously, students have collaborated on the development of a technique for the manufacture of red blood cells from human stem cells, and on the molecular modification of an antibiotic, increasing the range of infections it can treat.

Bristol focuses on the development of practical and research skills throughout the first two years. It also offers summer studentships and subject-specific employability and enterprise sessions.
