Biochemistry BSc (Hons)

How does the structure and function of proteins and other macromolecules explain life at the molecular level? What is the biochemical basis of disease? How does DNA control our development, our metabolism and our personal characteristics? How do enzymes work and how do hormones control biological function? These are just some of the fascinating questions addressed in this programme.

Biochemists are in great demand by employers and this degree will provide you with the knowledge and skills that employers want in medical and agricultural research, the pharmaceutical and other biotechnology industries, as well as in education.

Biological Sciences BSc (Hons)

This programme allows you to pursue your own areas of specific interest and to have an appreciation of the full range of the subject.

A progressive series of field, laboratory and lecture modules cover most aspects of the Biological Sciences, with students able to select topics to match their interests.

Across both years there are options to choose laboratory practicals or field courses. Each experience gives an invaluable opportunity to see what real scientific research is like and to work alongside staff who are international authorities in their fields.

Microbiology and Infection BSc (Hons)

Microorganisms cause many of the known diseases of humans, animals and plants. Knowledge of microbiology will enable you to improve the quality of our lives in relation to the environment, to fight disease, and to combat pollution. Microbiology plays a key role in genetic engineering and other modern biotechnologies, such as antibiotic production and the exploitation of new sources of food and energy.

Our degree programme aims to give you an appreciation of the full range of Microbiology while also allowing you to pursue areas of specific interest. During the course of your degree you will study modules such as Virology, Biotechnology, Bacterial disease mechanisms, Microbiomes and Advanced Microbiological Techniques. You will also have the opportunity to select from a wide range of optional modules.
