BIOCHEMISTRY SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
Biochemistry is crucial to the study and treatment of diseases, the development of pharmaceuticals, and the complex relationships with our environment. You will learn about the chemical processes within living organisms and how cells work at the sub-cellular and molecular levels, gaining an in-depth understanding of the biochemical function of living organisms, from bacteria to plants, animals, and humans.
You will benefit from access to the state-of-the-art research facilities including bioanalytical equipment, DNA and protein analytical equipment, and computer-based image analysers for molecular or cellular studies. You will develop excellent project management skills and learn how to design experiments and plan work programmes. A range of optional modules gives you the flexibility to tailor your degree to your interests, career ambitions, or plans for further study. A joint honours programme is also available with Genetics. MSci Programme: This integrated undergraduate master’s degree adds specialist training in laboratory techniques and a further research-focused year to the 3-year BSc Biochemistry course. This course gives you a master’s level qualification while paying undergraduate fees and is ideal if you plan on a career in research. TYPICAL MODULES INCLUDE: Year 1
