About this course

Why choose this course?

Biochemistry is the ‘chemistry of life’. It involves the study of living organisms, from the simplest to the most complex, and seeks to explain how they work at the molecular level. This course provides a broad-based understanding of biochemistry and the opportunity to specialise as your interests develop.

You can also choose to study Biochemistry as a joint honours degree alongside another subject. See the 'course combinations' section for more information.

What will you study?

All life science students study a common curriculum in year1 of the course, which is designed to provide you with a firm foundation in biological and chemical principles. You then cover more-specialised aspects of biochemistry, such as genetics and metabolic biochemistry. As your own interests develop you can choose from a wide range of options to match your career aspirations.
