Biochemistry – applying molecular concepts to complex biological systems – is the cutting edge of science in the 21st century. Imagine a world where we have whole new classes of drugs available, modified organisms that produce high value compounds and crops thriving outside their usual range. Thanks to biochemists this could only be twenty years away – and you can be part of these exciting scientific advances with this course. You’ll learn about biochemical processes and the chemistry that underpins them, while studying real-world applications in biotechnology and medicine. With our optional modules, you’ll also be able to look at areas like neuroscience, pharmaceutical chemistry and genetics. Our biochemistry academics focus their research covers the structure and function of the most fundamental molecular components of life. Their research has an impact on different areas from biomedicine to the environment and agriculture. ## Expert support at every step Your employability is a priority for us. We organise regular events to help you think about your future beyond university, including career events and talks from biochemistry graduates. You can also take part in peer leadership and teamwork activities, summer laboratory internships and society events. Our biochemistry programme is taught almost exclusively by academics who specialise in this area. So, if you want to make an impact, studying here is a great place to start.
