**Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes. Our BSc (Hons) Biochemistry with Foundation Year will provide you with a strong foundation in science, allowing you to progress onto the Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry within the School of Science, Engineering and Environment.**
The Foundation Year is ideal if you want to develop your career along a biological pathway but have a non-scientific background, or you don’t meet the entry requirements for direct entry to an Honours degree. This course may also be attractive if you are returning to education or if you wish to change career direction.
Biochemistry is at the cutting-edge of research and is an exceptionally versatile scientific discipline with opportunities in the field continuing to grow and develop. This provides graduates of the full honour degree course with some excellent prospective career paths and our programme will ensure that you are fully equipped to take advantage of them.
Between years two and three of the full hours course course we encourage students to complete a placement year, which is arranged with our support. Recent students have completed placement years at AstraZeneca, Kidscan and the Cancer Research UK Manchester institute. In our experience, final degree results and employability are enhanced for students who undertake a placement year.
