About this course
Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with an International Year, a biochemistry degree focused on cellular, molecular and physiological systems. Core topics include Data Analysis and Critical & Analytical Thinking. The programme includes a dedicated international year spent abroad. The first year covers foundational concepts through Cell Biology & Physiology, Chemistry for Biochemists I, Discovering Biosciences Skills and Enterprise, and Genetics I. The second year progresses with Chemistry for Biochemists - II, Communication and Enterprise, Genetic Engineering and Data Science, and Membranes, Energy and Metabolism. The final year involves advanced study and practical training through Experimental design, analysis & interpretation of biochemical data, Evidence-based literature review and critical analysis informed project proposal, Practical Project, and Cancer Biology, alongside various specialized options.
