Biochemistry (with foundation year)

During the foundation year, you will develop core bioscience and study skills using an active and collaborative approach to your learning. This will build your skills and knowledge before moving onto BSc (Hons) Biochemistry in Year Two. You’ll study diseases alongside drug development, biological tools and genetically modified products – all the skills you’ll need to become a professional biochemist. We also give you lots of opportunities to apply your skills in our state-of-the-art labs, so you’ll be a confident, work-ready graduate.

Biochemistry is the chemistry of life and on this course we bring it off the page. You’ll not only discover how this subject is vital to humanity, but even play a part in applying it to global challenges. Your journey will start with discovery of disease at a molecular level – preventing, diagnosing and treating – before looking at drug development, biological tools and genetically modified products. We show you how this fascinating subject can be applied in everyday life in from diabetes to cancer.

There‘s no substitute for doing it yourself, so that’s why we give you lots of chances to apply your skills in our labs so you’re a confident, work-ready graduate.
