Course summary

What you will study: During the first two years of our Biochemistry course, you’ll develop a broad understanding of biochemistry, its methodology and some of its most intriguing applications. You’ll get to choose optional modules in bacteriology, biodiversity, neuroscience and virology. In your third year, you’ll select five optional modules, exploring topics such as genetics, immunology, pharmacology, systems biology and toxicology. You’ll also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical and presentation skills you’ve developed. Previous students have had their work published in top-tier journals, including the European Journal of Neuroscience and the Journal of Virology and Sleep. If you choose to complete an integrated masters you will have an additional research-focused year of study. You’ll cover advanced techniques in biochemistry and you’ll enhance your scientific communication skills. During the year, you’ll be presented with several therapy areas and drug targets that you’ll develop a portfolio review for. You’ll then present your work to industry experts in a bid for funding. You'll also be given a research problem that you’ll propose a critical experimental plan for, incorporating a range of appropriate biochemical techniques. You’ll complete a laboratory-based dissertation investigating topics like antibody class switching in B cells and neurodegenerative diseases.
