Course summary


Biochemistry is the foundation for understanding all biological processes. Develop an international perspective of how organisms work at the molecular level in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and in many chemical and health-related industries with our BSc (Hons) Biochemistry with Foundation Year degree.

Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes. Positioned at the cutting-edge of research, Biochemistry is an exceptionally versatile scientific discipline to study at university. The knowledge and methods developed by biochemists are applied to all fields of medicine, in agriculture and in many chemical and health related industries.


Take your scientific knowledge further

The foundation year pathway provides you with a solid grounding in key subjects in scientific practice, along with communication and study skills, so you are ready to meet the prerequisites for studying a full degree course.
