In the first and second years, the course features chemistry modules taught by the School of Chemistry, and this knowledge feeds into your study of cell biology, physiology and genetics. In physical biochemistry and metabolism, we go to the very core of what makes living organisms tick. Some of the themes in our second-year modules include membranes, energy transduction and gene cloning, which can be combined with your choice of optional modules, for instance on the molecular mechanisms of disease. As part of your final-year project, you will have the chance to contribute to ongoing research in the School, which could see you working in one of our high-technology facilities, such as analysing metabolites using mass spectrometry in the Phenome Centre.
