Biochemistry (with placement ) BSc (Hons)

Develop a broad knowledge of life processes at a molecular level, and skills that can lead to a range of careers in the molecular biosciences and beyond.Combine your interests in biology and chemistry to study life at the molecular level. Our course will give you the knowledge and skills to understand and solve current and future biological challenges.In the first year, you’ll study a broad introduction to biosciences. This will give you a foundation from which you will have the option to specialise in specific areas, such as developmental biology, genomics, neuroscience, cancer biology and microbiology. You will also gain hands-on experience of practical scientific techniques in dedicated undergraduate laboratories, as well as access to specialist technology in research labs.In the final year, you’ll undertake a research project, giving you first-hand experience as a researcher and the opportunity to contribute to some of the world-leading research in the Department.You will graduate with a solid foundation for further study or graduate roles where a broader knowledge of molecular biosciences is needed. The academic and key skills you'll develop mean you will also be prepared for a wide range of alternative careers.
