BSc (Hons)Biochemistry & Microbiology

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

Biochemistry is the study of biological systems at the molecular level. Biochemistry and the related field of molecular biology are essential in understanding the molecular basis of life and its role in the disease process.

Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes) and includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Microbes are a major cause of human disease but can also be helpful in industrial processes, from pollution control to producing critical therapeutic compounds.

The opportunity to choose specific degree combinations will allow you to go into specialist biomedical science areas such as neuroscience, cardiovascular research, immunopharmacology, industrial immunology, drug research, biochemistry, microbiology and bacteriology.
