About this course

Why choose this course?

Kingston’s degree in Medical Biochemistry emphasises the importance of biochemistry in medicine. The course focuses on our understanding of the molecular processes in both health and disease and how this can lead to the development of new treatments. You will learn how the human body functions in health and how it is affected by disease at the cellular and molecular level. The course will equip you with the practical skills needed to investigate disease in the laboratory.

What will you study?

The curriculum is similar to the BSc(Hons) Biochemistry degree, sharing the same core biochemistry modules. However, you will also study a wide range of medically related modules to complement and deepen your biochemistry knowledge. These cover areas such as immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, haematology and clinical chemistry.
