Biochemistry BSc (Hons)

Not only are we ranked Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework, we’re also accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB). What’s more, in the National Student Survey (NSS) 2024, 100% of students on our Biochemistry course were positive about how their course challenged them to achieve their best work.

Throughout the course, you'll acquire the knowledge and technical skills to work in a wide variety of roles, including those in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. We encourage students to pursue further research, to contribute to our understanding of how biochemistry underpins all human life.

In your final year, you will immerse yourself in a lab setting and experience what it is like to test various clinical testing as well as studying the blood of patients. You'll also have the opportunity to work on an independent research project on a specialist topic that inspires you.

We have updated our modules to enhance student-centred teaching and align course content with industry needs, helping you become a future-proof graduate.
