Biochemistry with Year Abroad BSc (Hons)

Biochemistry – applying molecular concepts to complex biological systems – is the cutting edge of science in the 21st century.

At Queen Mary, you’ll be taught by world-leading researchers in both biology and chemistry, together in one School. You’ll develop an advanced scientific understanding of both disciplines, and improve your practical skills with high-level lab work.

You’ll learn about key biochemical processes and the chemistry that underpins them, as well as studying real-world applications in biotechnology and medicine. Option modules in the second and third years let you direct your studies to the areas that interest you most.

Choose your own pathway through this degree - you can add a year in industry or studying abroad, or carry out an additional year of advanced study to graduate with an MSci.
