Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biochemistry (C702) Professional Training Placement

Biochemistry is at the heart of life and the explanation of all life processes. Both health and disease, and ageing and development are complex biochemical processes. By understanding more about these, we can generate more effective ways to help humanity.

During their first two years, students will develop a broad understanding of biochemistry, its methodology and some of its most intriguing applications. They'll get to choose optional modules in bacteriology, biodiversity, neuroscience and virology.

In their third year, students will select five optional modules, exploring topics such as genetics, immunology, pharmacology, systems biology and toxicology. They'll also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical and presentation skills they've developed. Previous students have had their work published in top-tier journals, including the European Journal of Neuroscience, the Journal of Virology and Sleep.
