At Worcester, we look at the fascinating world of biochemistry from a variety of angles. The core of our course explores human health, from the processes that cause cancer to the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

There are also opportunities to extend your learning into other areas, such as bioinformatics or microbiology, depending on your specific interests. There is even the chance to get involved with hands-on research into immortalized human cell lines in the lab.

Our Biochemistry degree provides the foundation for entry-to-graduate training programs. For example, a clinical (healthcare) scientist within the NHS, comes with an average starting salary of £25K + per year. The degree is also rich in transferable skills and many graduates may also work in teaching, scientific publishing, or in business.

At the University of Worcester, our students come first and we provide workshops to help our graduates enter postgraduate studies at Worcester or other universities.
