BSc (Hons) Biochemistry
BSc Biochemistry is delivered full-time over three years (or four if you choose to include an industry placement) via a programme of practice-focused modules. You'll explore important scientific subjects including biological chemistry, organic chemistry, and genetics, while developing your practical skills in our Bodmer laboratories.
Throughout your studies you will also choose from a selection of specialised biochemistry modules and complete your studies with a supervised research project in a subject of your choice.
Learn more about the course modules in the section below.
With a focus on practical learning, throughout the degree you will learn cutting edge scientific knowledge and techniques. You will develop your knowledge of how organisms work at the molecular level in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and in many chemical and health-related industries.
For example, in the second year of your degree you’ll take a module focusing on Genomics and learn how you can study genes to accurately predict, diagnose and treat diseases more precisely than ever.
On this course, you will have the option to take an industry placement year between years two and three. Although you'll be responsible for securing your placement, a tutor will support you, monitor your progress and assess your final placement report. If you successfully complete a placement year as part of your studies, your degree will attain 'Advanced Degree Accreditation' by the Royal Society of Biology.
Recent biochemistry students have undertaken placements at the Respiratory Physiology Unit at the Royal Aintree Hospital in Liverpool, AstraZeneca in Cheshire, the Cancer Research UK Manchester institute and the Hochschule in Bremen, North Germany.
