BSc (Hons) Biochemistry and Biotechnology

... United Kingdom
... University of East London

Course Overview

If you want to enjoy a practical study of one of the fastest-growing and most fascinating areas of human knowledge, then our biochemistry course is for you.

You'll be taught by - and also get the chance to assist - scientists involved in biotech research and discoveries.

Increasingly, biochemists and biotechnologists are playing a crucial role in genetic engineering, molecular bioengineering, and other areas of physiology and medicine.

For instance, antibiotics remain one of the UK's main exports and their production by fermenting micro-organisms in the pharmaceutical industry has revolutionised healthcare.

We want to give you a comprehensive understanding of the theory and application of biotechnology and biochemistry in areas of medicine and industry.

So you can be part of this stimulating exploration, studying subjects that are pivotal in improving the manufacturing processes, fighting disease and improving our lives.

This course comes with the opportunity of a year-long industry placement between years two and three, subject to the availability of positions with our industry partners. If you choose this option, you'll spend your third year working in an appropriate professional environment, adding valuable practical experience to your growing academic knowledge.
