Course summary

Biochemistry is the branch of science that examines the chemical processes within living organisms, and biochemical research has the capacity to unlock stem cell therapies and overcome cancer and dementia. Tying together the disciplines of chemistry and biology, a degree in biochemistry helps you better understand the molecular basis of life while also preparing you to take part in an innovative field at the forefront of modern medicine, science research and other vital areas. This course offers a great starting point if you’re interested in making your own contributions to the biochemistry field upon graduation or continuing to further study. Post-university, you’ll be prepared for a variety of exciting careers in vital areas, such as medical research, the NHS, molecular sciences, and medical genetics. You’ll learn in our new £18.2 million facilities, too.
