Biochemistry, BSc (Hons)

Biochemistry examines life at the molecular level, encompassing processes such as metabolism, DNA replication and repair, and protein functions that facilitate communication within and between cells. Understanding these normal cellular operations enables scientists to identify and address dysfunctions when they occur.This degree begins with a broad foundation in life sciences at Levels 1 and 2, progressing to advanced biochemistry topics at Levels 3 and 4. Early years focus on cell biology, molecular mechanisms, and practical skills like laboratory techniques, data analysis, and experiment design, preparing students for independent projects. The curriculum, informed by leading researchers, ensures exposure to cutting-edge advancements alongside core principles. Students can select modules of interest, transfer to related courses, and enhance transferable skills through integrated lab sessions.
