BSc Biological Sciences (Biochemistry)

Course Overview This course provides a comprehensive exploration of biochemistry, from the fundamental molecular processes that sustain life to the cutting-edge research that explains and treats human disease. You will learn how cellular functions are controlled and what happens when these processes fail, applying this knowledge to understand modern therapeutic drug design. The program equips you with highly valued practical, analytical, and problem-solving skills to prepare you for a successful scientific career. Key Program Highlights Gain a deep understanding of DNA, protein synthesis, and metabolic reactions that underpin all life. Learn how errors in molecular control lead to diseases like cancer and how they are targeted for treatment. Study molecular structures at the atomic level, benefiting from the expertise of the Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology. Develop a powerful blend of practical lab skills, data analysis, and critical problem-solving abilities. Build transferable skills through team projects, presentations, and handling complex scientific information.
