Biochemistry explores the molecular basis of life. It has a rich history of scientific discoveries — from enzymology and metabolic pathways to the discovery of genes and the structure of DNA, there is so much to uncover through Biochemistry. 


When you join us, you’ll learn how biochemistry and biomolecular sciences contribute to advances in medicine and biotechnology, synthetic biology and protein engineering, molecular biology, bioinformatics, genome mapping and genetics.  Supported by the very latest research and discoveries, our teaching allows you to explore how biochemical processes can help us to understand and solve real-world problems. You will learn from experts in synthetic biology and protein engineering, molecular biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, genome mapping and genetics. 


Our passion for science is embedded throughout this programme, from your lectures and workshops to your practical sessions, where you’ll put theory into practice. You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in all aspects of both classroom and modern laboratory teaching and receive support to develop your laboratory techniques. Through a hands-on curriculum, which blends research and insights from industry, you’ll gain the knowledge, skills and experience you need in preparation for a successful career.   


You can also tailor some aspects of your degree to suit your interests, combining core biochemistry modules with other modules of your choice.  In your final year of study, you’ll have the chance to investigate a topic that you want to explore in more depth, supervised by supportive researchers who are experts in their field. This enables you to focus on innovative solutions to current day issues.  


Our mission is to provide you with the skills you need to embark on a career of your choice. You will graduate with valuable transferable skills in computing, statistics, data analysis, and presenting your work, preparing you for a successful future.
