This degree is for students with a broad interest in the biochemical processes of life and how these are altered by disease. This degree begins with a range of modules designed to provide students with a broad overview of both subject disciplines and includes Molecules of Life, Biomedicine and Society, Organic Chemistry, and Anatomy and Tissue Structure. In the second year, students will move on to a range of biochemical and biomedical subjects, with several modules designed to develop key laboratory skills required by scientists in these areas. These modules include Medical Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Genetics. In addition, students have the option of studying either Microbiological Techniques or Practical Physiology depending on their interests. Students can tailor their degree in the final year to match their interests, selecting from a diverse range of subjects including Tropical Diseases, Protein Biochemistry, Biology of Ageing, and Ethics in Biomedicine.
