Biochemistry

About this programme

Biochemistry sits at the intersection of biology and chemistry. It explores how cells work, how diseases develop, and how medicines are designed. You will cover a wide range of topics on this course, including DNA manipulation, the structure and properties of proteins, molecular modelling, investigating cancer, genetics, infection, and the molecular basis of disease and implications on human health. This course combines hands-on laboratory experience, training in state-of-the-art software with research-led teaching to help you build practical scientific skills alongside strong career foundations. Whether you already know you want a career in science, or you're still exploring your options, this course is designed to give you flexibility, transferable skills, and multiple progression routes after graduation. A course built around real scientific application Develop practical laboratory, analytical, and data interpretation skills used across healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and research industries.
