Biological Sciences (Biochemistry) MBiolSci with a Year in Industry
The basic principle of biochemistry is that the processes of living things can be explained by the properties and interactions of the molecules from which they are made. On this course you will work alongside leading biochemists who are investigating some of the most important questions in biochemistry research in order to gain insight into the mechanisms of life.
Biochemists study these processes in all types of organisms and discover how errors in them can cause disease, and they help discover how biomolecules work across the biological sciences. On this course you will gain a broad understanding of fundamental biological processes, while developing analytical skills and gaining experience in handling complex information. By studying biochemistry alongside options in other biological sciences, you will be able to apply your knowledge across the boundaries of traditional disciplines and gain a valuable and powerful asset in scientific environments and in many other walks of life.
This flexible and broad-based four-year degree allows you to shape your course to focus your study on the biochemistry of living organisms. The first three years are the same as the BSc in Biological Sciences (Biochemistry), including the option of a year spent abroad or working in industry. In your final year you will specialise further, upgrading your degree to an MBiolSci (Master of Biological Sciences) and experiencing a seamless transition to specialised higher level study with a focus on biochemical research and transferable employability skills.

For many courses at the University of Leicester, you will need 80% overall or higher, along with higher individual marks of 85% in relevant subjects. If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) then you can begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree. Please see inidvidual course pages for entry requirements. If you have already completed the first year of an undergraduate degree at an Indian university, you may be considered for entry to the first or second year of a Bachelors degree if you have studied relevant subjects and/or modules. We also have progression arrangements with some partner institutions in India, which allow advance entry to certain University of Leicester courses. Please contact the International Office for further information. If you do not meet the entry requirements for one of our courses, you can apply for an International Foundation Year run by the Global Study Centre. The GSC provides academic support to help you progress to your chosen undergraduate degree at the University of Leicester.
