BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY B.Sc (Hons)

We will equip you with the skills to tackle increasingly problematic and complex issues surrounding our ever growing and ageing human population, our medical problems and the impacts our actions have on each other and on life on Earth.

Combining Biochemistry and Biology gives you the chance to approach problems from the molecular and organismal level. The Biochemistry element of the course covers mainly mammalian Biochemistry and has a focus on health and disease.

You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in field courses, undertake research projects and apply for placements.

A four year version of the programme provides the opportunity to take an industrial placement in the third year and the possibility of completing a placement at one of a number of research institutes in Europe. For example our students have completed placements at the prestigious Pasteur Institute in Paris, home to a number of Nobel Prize winners.
