On this course, we bring biochemistry off the page. You’ll not only discover how this subject is vital to humanity, but even play a part in applying it to global challenges.

Your journey will start with a discovery of disease – preventing, diagnosing and treating – before looking at drug development, biological tools and genetically modified products.

There‘s no substitute for doing it yourself, so that’s why we give you loads of chances to apply your skills in our labs so you’re a confident, work-ready graduate.

In Year Three you can take a work placement to put your knowledge into practice. You’ll get a Diploma in Professional Practice which strengthens your employability after graduation. The placements are often paid and many students impress their employers and are offered jobs at the end of their course.

Students on this course will be well placed to pursue entry level posts in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and the majority of biological science related disciplines.
