The Biochemistry & Genetics Joint Honours degree offers modules from both the separate Single Honours Biochemistry and Single Honours Genetics degrees and covers a broader range of topics within the fields of biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology. It is intended to demonstrate the overlapping principles of the two disciplines and allows greater flexibility in choice of modules. The Biochemistry and Genetics course with integrated Foundation is intended for students who have studied Chemistry and Biology. If you don’t make or are predicted lower entry requirements than our 3 year degree, this foundation adds an additional year of intense tuition to ready you to progress to undergraduate study.

In the foundation year students will cover the fundamental knowledge required to progress to the BSc in Biochemistry and Genetics: • Biological and organic chemistry • molecular biology • data handling • laboratory practice Throughout the full BSc in Biochemistry and Genetics students will build on their basic knowledge learnt in the foundation year through a mix of lectures, practicals and project work. Students will explore the essential foundations of both biochemistry and genetics, including metabolism pathways, biochemistry skills development, organic and analytical chemistry, molecular genetics and microbiology. As student’s progress they will develop their knowledge in • metabolic regulation • techniques in molecular biology • membranes and energy transduction • membrane trafficking • bioinformatics In their 3rd year students will complete an independent research project under the guidance of professional research scientists

You will be taught through a combination of lectures, workshops, laboratory classes and independent projects Assessment will take place through a variet of differenr methods including examinations, coursework, laboratory practicals and presentations. In your final year you will undertake an independent research project, potentially contributing to scientific research at the school, under the guidance of professional research scientists.
