Course Summary

Biochemistry examines the structure and function of living organisms at the molecular level. It is an exciting and rapidly developing subject and the primary investigative science within biology and medicine. Our BSc Biochemistry (Study Abroad) includes core modules in biochemistry and chemistry combined with a solid background in related fields. This three-year degree is ideal if you wish to experience overseas study as part of your biochemistry degree. Overseas study can broaden your horizon, build your confidence, offer a different perspective on your subject, and can make you stand out from the crowd in a competitive job market. In the first year, you will study core modules such as Protein Biochemistry, Cell Structure and Function, and Genetics – all designed to give you a good overview of key modern biochemical concepts. You will spend your second year at a university in Australasia, Canada or the USA. You will study modules which have been approved by Lancaster University to ensure that you are prepared for the modules you will take when you return to Lancaster for your final year. You will have the flexibility to tailor your third year to your biochemical interests and can select from a diverse range of subjects including Cell Signalling, Cancer, Biology of Ageing, and Neurobiology. During your degree, you’ll conduct your own laboratory-based project where you’ll benefit from the research experience of our internationally renowned academic staff. The facilities for studying biochemistry at Lancaster University are excellent. We have invested over £4 million in new life science teaching laboratories, which you will use for practical learning and your dissertation project. Around 50% of the contact time at Lancaster is used for practical and workshop activities in the laboratory or in PC labs.
