BSc (Hons) Biochemistry and Biology

... United Kingdom
... Keele University

Course Overview

Our Biochemistry and Biology BSc course provides you with a fantastic opportunity to combine studying two fascinating scientific subjects.

From unlocking the secrets of the human body to the individually tailored molecular therapies of the future, biochemistry is the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. This is the foundation for understanding all biological processes, including the development and progression of diverse pathologies, across species. It has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes and can provide explanations for the causes of many diseases in humans, animals and plants. Most of society's global challenges are connected to biology - from assessing the effect of medication on the human body to exploring methods to prevent species extinction.

Biochemistry modules cover five core themes: macromolecular structure-function, metabolism and its control, genetics, cell biology and the applications of chemistry in the study of these. The course will give you a broad and varied grounding in modern biochemistry. You will explore the structure and function of biological molecules and metabolic processes, core chemical concepts and their application to the biological sciences and molecular cell biology.

Our Biochemistry and Biology BSc will also help enhance your practical and analytical skills in a Practical Skills in Bioscience module, including core molecular biology and immunological techniques, as well as in experimental design through conducting a mini-research project, supporting transition to your final year research projects.

Biology modules are carefully designed to enable common understanding of the fundamentals of biology that underpin the areas of biological study. You will explore topics such as physiology and anatomy, ecology, the fundamentals of biology and plant biology. As you progress on this Biochemistry and Biology BSc, you will examine modules such as animal behaviour and microbes, viruses and parasites and have the opportunity to choose from a variety of optional modules that are aligned to your interests in the field.
