BSc (Hons), Biochemistry

Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Biochemistry is the chemistry of life and in this course, we bring it off the page. You’ll not only discover how this subject is vital to humanity but even play a part in applying it to global challenges. Your journey will start with the discovery of disease at a molecular level – preventing, diagnosing, and treating – before looking at drug development, biological tools, and genetically modified products. We show you how this fascinating subject can be applied in everyday life from diabetes to cancer.

There‘s no substitute for doing it yourself, so that’s why we give you lots of chances to apply your skills in our labs so you’re a confident, work-ready graduate.
