BSc (Hons) Biochemistry

Biochemistry underpins the very nature of our existence and acquiring skills and knowledge of this subject will help you solve key biological problems. Our Biochemistry degree is aimed at helping you understand the interconnectedness of chemistry, physics and biology by exploring a range of different topics. This includes protein–protein interactions, recognising how macromolecular structure is closely linked to biological function and how this is perturbed in disease. You will find this biochemistry course has a unique blend of biochemistry-related topics including genetics, microbiology, physiology and chemistry. You can also specialise in more focused areas including thermodynamics, molecular geometry as well as medical and industrial applications of biochemistry.

Standard entry requirements apply for this biochemistry degree. A typical offer is:

BCC at A Level or,

DMM at BTEC or,

Pass (C and above) at T Level

In addition, you are expected to have studied at least two natural sciences at Grade C or above, one of them being Chemistry (the additional accepted Science A levels are; Biology, Human Biology, Science, Math or Physics) or Science, Forensic Science or Medical Science at BTEC or T Level.

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
