BSc Biochemistry with an Industrial Placement Year

This four-year biochemistry courses lie at the core of modern bioscience, allowing you to investigate the structure and function of biological systems at the molecular level.  You’ll do a year-long, paid work placement as part of your degree. Throughout the course, you'll study proteins, enzymes, hormones and receptors. Crucially, you’ll also learn about the various ways that biochemistry can be applied to major challenges affecting humanity today, from how we sustainably feed a global population, to healthy ageing and how new drugs are designed. Alongside these core ideas in biochemistry, you’ll be exposed to cutting edge ideas in genetics, microbiology and plant sciences.
