BSc (Hons) Biochemistry (with foundation year)

You’ll develop an understanding of what is happening inside the cells of living organisms and how this has changed through the evolutionary process. With a focus on understanding the data, you’ll look at DNA / RNA synthesis, proteins, and genetics and learn how these can unlock the diagnosis of biochemical disorders and human diseases. Understanding, analyzing, and drawing meaning from data is becoming increasingly important in the industry. We’ve recently redeveloped this course to include bioinformatics skills across all years of your course. If you are really interested in this growing area of biochemistry, then you can also immerse yourself further by focusing on bioinformatics for your final year research project.

As the course is highly practical, you’ll get experience in cutting-edge molecular biology techniques such as DNA/RNA technology, protein analysis, diagnostics, as well as bioinformatics. You will also gain key biochemical skills such as biochemical catalysis, protein purification, and enzyme kinetics
