Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Biochemistry

Program Overview

Biochemistry has revolutionised our understanding of biological systems, from microbes to humans, and led to ground-breaking biotechnology applications. Our degree equips you with the specialist knowledge and skills you need for a career in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, as well as other related sectors.

Offering a strong foundation in modern biochemistry, this course allows you to explore core subjects such as genetics, cell biology and molecular biology along with specialised fields including bioinformatics and molecular modelling; drug design and development; biotechnology; and genetic engineering.

You gain specialist knowledge in areas such as structure-function relationships; signalling and regulatory systems; and metabolic pathways as well as building the practical laboratory skills to work at the forefront of this exciting and developing field.

Why choose this course?

  • Learn the techniques and practical laboratory skills essential for working in the field of biochemistry
  • Benefit from our new science facilities and STEM building, which offer a modern working environment including high-spec laboratories
  • Study with research-active experts in their field, many having previously worked at leading institutions such as Cambridge University, Imperial College London and King’s College London
  • Develop transferable skills highly sought after by employers, such as independent thinking; planning and problem solving; analysis; and communication skills
  • As a graduate, seek wider career opportunities in hospitals, government departments, academic organisations and the publishing industry. Or move on to further study at postgraduate level
  • Take the course over four years and include a fee-free year in industry (see below), gaining experience, adding to your CV and making contacts for the future
  • If you need to step up into higher education (see below), start with a Foundation Year which guarantees your place on the full degree course
