BSc Biological Sciences (Biochemistry)

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester ( Navitas )

Course Overview

The basic principle of biochemistry is that the processes of living things are ultimately explicable in terms of the properties and interactions of the molecules from which they are made. Biochemists study molecular processes in all types of organisms - and how errors in these processes can cause disease. This course will give you a broad understanding of the fundamental biological processes in cells, develop your analytical skills and provide experience handling complex information. Biochemists study these processes in all types of organisms and discover how errors in them can cause disease, and they help learn how biomolecules work across the biological sciences. In this course, you will gain a broad understanding of fundamental biological processes while developing analytical skills and gaining experience in handling complex information. By studying biochemistry alongside options in other natural sciences, you can apply your knowledge across the boundaries of traditional disciplines and acquire a valuable and powerful asset in scientific environments and in many different walks of life.
