Medical Biochemistry, BSc (Hons)

All living organisms rely on chemical processes for function, and the Medical Biochemistry programme at Royal Holloway, University of London, offers a comprehensive understanding of these processes, with a focus on the molecular foundations of disease. Students pursue their interest in this field to contribute to advancements in disease prevention and treatment, studying in a cutting-edge School of Biological Sciences equipped with advanced technologies such as mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, and gene sequencing.The flexible curriculum allows customisation in years two and three, with options in areas like microbiology, pharmacology, and toxicology. Students learn clinical disease diagnosis from local health professionals and engage in a year-three research project, often leading to published work. This prepares graduates for diverse careers in forensic medicine, biotechnology, and medical research, building skills in laboratory techniques, physiology, genetics, and microbiology within a supportive academic community.
