Course summary

Our Royal Society of Biology accredited Biochemistry with Study in Continental Europe BSc degree programme is the point where chemistry, biology and medicine meet. Biochemistry deals with the molecular nuts and bolts of living organisms and diseases.The BSc Biochemistry with Study in Continental Europe, with its specialist degree options, offers a fantastic opportunity to explore living organisms from a molecular and cellular perspective. We start with the foundations of chemistry, cell biology and genetics and lead you right up to cutting-edge research questions in the final year.This course builds on the framework of the 3-year BSc (Hons) Biochemistry course and combines a science education with language training in years 1 and 2.The Year in Continental Europe option provides the opportunity to combine Biochemistry with training in a modern language, culminating in a year of study at a University in France, Germany or Spain, with sessions given in the language of the host country.Studying a whole academic year at one of our European partner institutions will provide a complementary perspective on your subject, provide you with an enriching cultural experience and make you a competent speaker of your chosen language. To an employer your language skills matter as does the fact that you have demonstrated independence and initiative.This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
