Biochemistry is a science which seeks to understand how cellular activity determines organism level outcome. Student will learn how the regulation of gene expression and protein function controls every aspect of cell behavior, from cell division and cancer to cellular metabolism, obesity, protein degradation and neurodegenerative disease.
With practical experience from term one, they will be trained by scientists who are leaders in the fields of biochemistry and the molecular basis of disease. This teaching will ensure them graduate Biochemistry BSc with the core skills needed to be successful in their future profession with potential careers from laboratory scientist to data analyst, patent law and teaching.
Through optional modules and research projects, they can tailor the course to focus on the specific areas of biochemistry that interests them. Our core first year content gives them the option to refine their biochemistry degree path at the end of year one to Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine BSc (C741) or Biochemistry and Genetics BSc (CC47).
