Programme Overview

Understand the Chemistry Behind Life

Biochemistry brings together chemistry and biology to explore the chemical reactions and processes that take place inside and around living organisms.

It plays an important role in understanding health, disease, genetics, proteins, metabolism and the molecular processes that support life.

The field also contributes to areas including health research, biotechnology, agriculture, food science and environmental science.

Explore Life at Molecular Level

Understand how proteins, enzymes, genes and other biological molecules interact within living systems.

Develop Laboratory Skills

Build practical scientific skills through observation, testing, measurement and laboratory analysis.

Understand Health and Disease

Explore how changes in biological processes can contribute to disease and influence approaches to research and treatment.
