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. By undertaking active research within a research laboratory and developing the information literacy skills and analytical skills to support this, the high degree of subject specialisation and knowledge you will gain will contribute to making you highly employable as a graduate in both the research and commercial bioscience sectors.
Distinctive features
- Experience engaging teaching that is driven by our research expertise. You’ll also have access to an exciting range of training opportunities in research laboratories within the School of Biosciences.
- Make use of the latest equipment, techniques and facilities in your project work.
- Biochemistry plays a fundamental role in everyday life, affecting different aspects of society. From nature, retail, food, cosmetics, and healthcare, the impact of biochemistry is everywhere.
- Over 94% of our graduates from the School of Biosciences are in employment, further study or other activities 15 months after the end of their course (Graduate Outcomes).

Admission Requirements
AAA-ABB. Must include Biology or Chemistry.
You will need to pass the science practical element of the A-level if this is part of your programme of study.
Extended/International Project Qualification: Applicants with grade A in the EPQ/IPQ will typically receive an offer one grade lower than the standard offer. Please note that any subject specific requirements must still be met.
- Our grade range covers our standard offer and contextual offer. We carefully consider the circumstances in which you've been studying (your contextual data) upon application. Eligible students will be given an offer that is lower than the standard offer (usually the middle or lower end of the advertised grade range).
- Where there is no grade range advertised and/or where there are selection processes in place (like an interview) you may receive additional consideration in the selection process.
GCSE and other essential requirements
You must have or be working towards:
- English language or Welsh language at GCSE grade C/4 or an equivalent (such as A-levels). If you require a Student visa, you must ensure your language qualification complies with UKVI requirements.
- GCSE Maths grade C/4 or equivalent qualification (subject and grade). If you are taking A-level Maths (or equivalent), GCSE Maths is not required. Core Maths may also be accepted in place of GCSE Maths.
We do not accept Critical Thinking, General Studies, Citizenship Studies, or other similar equivalent subjects.
We will accept a combination of RQF BTEC subjects, A-levels, and other qualifications, subject to the course specific grade and subject requirements.
