The Biochemistry course at York is a high quality, intensive and rewarding programme that gives a contemporary introduction to one of the most significant scientific disciplines of the 21st century. The course is taught between the departments of Biology and Chemistry, ensuring expert tuition in each aspect of the course from international calibre researchers. Biochemistry at York provides students with an understanding of the fundamental processes that govern life. Our modules are assessed by a combination of closed examinations and openly assessed work. We design our exams to assess conceptual understanding as well as important facts about the subject. On completion of this course our graduates are not confined to science-related careers, and a significant number enter jobs within finance, public and private sector management, social and health service work, the media and law.
