Biochemistry BSc

Course overview

Many devastating diseases, such as cancer, are caused by just a few atoms being out of place inside your cells. Biochemistry aims to understand how living things work at the atomic level. This knowledge drives the most exciting developments in biomedical research, from the development of new drugs to treat neurodegenerative disorders to cancer therapies and coronavirus vaccines.

How are genes encoded in DNA and how do cells use this information to produce proteins? How do proteins fold into 3D structures? How does protein misfolding cause devastating diseases like Alzheimer’s? How do mutations cause inherited disorders and cancer? How do viruses infect and replicate inside cells? On this course, taught by leading research experts, you will explore these questions and many others. You will understand the molecular basis of health and disease and how biochemists lead the way in therapeutic development.

Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary subject at the boundary between biology and the physical sciences. As such, you will gain a unique knowledge base and skill set from your Biochemistry degree. This will make you highly sought after by a wide range of top employers within the biological/biomedical research sector and beyond.

This 3 year BSc can also be converted into an integrated Masters (MBiol) with an optional additional year of specialist training, subject to suitable academic performance and availability. You would study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.

For more information and a list of typical modules available on this course, please read BSc Biochemistry in the course catalogue.

Year 1

The first year introduces the molecular building blocks of cells and how they orchestrate the cellular processes that sustain life. Lectures in chemistry build on your existing knowledge and provide a rigorous grounding in the basic physical and chemical concepts that underpin biochemistry as a molecular science.

You will spend 6 hours per week in practical classes performing experiments to develop your laboratory skills, build an understanding of the lecture material and bring the subject to life. Experiments include protein chromatography, enzyme kinetics and genetic engineering. Tutorials with an academic member of staff will explore the course material in depth and develop your numeracy and problem-solving skills.

To tailor your course to match your own interests, you will select two optional modules. You can swap one optional module for a discovery module from across the University, allowing you to pursue subjects outside biological sciences (subject to timetabling constraints).

At the end of Year 1, our flexible degree structure offers you the opportunity to transfer to relevant degree courses in the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology. Course transfers are subject to space and academic background approval.
