About this course
BSc (Honours) in Biochemistry, a biochemistry degree focused on the chemical and molecular foundations of biological systems. Core topics include Research Methods. The course includes a final-year laboratory project carried out alongside research groups within the Biomedical Sciences Research Complex. The first year covers foundational principles through Biology 1, Biology 2, Introductory Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, and Organic and Biological Chemistry 1. The second year progresses with Applied Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry 2, and Research Methods in Biology. The final year involves advanced study with modules such as Advanced Biochemistry, Infection and Disease, Gene Regulation, Membranes and Cell Communication, and Protein Structure and Function.
