Biochemistry, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Our BSc in Biochemistry with Professional Experience explores the molecular foundations of life through a structured, layered curriculum. In the first year, students focus on molecular and cellular concepts, progressing in the second year to examine the effects of biochemical processes on organs and organisms. The final year delves into advanced topics, including cutting-edge research, human diseases, and structural biology. This flexible four-year programme allows for optional modules to align with individual interests and includes a professional placement year between the second and final years.
