BSc (Hons) Biochemistry with professional training year in Guildford United Kingdom | University of Surrey

Discover the core mechanisms of life at the cellular scale, spanning from basic survival to the orchestration of countless living cells. Investigate cutting-edge advancements in gene expression, immunology, human genetics, toxicology mechanisms, drug metabolism, neuroscience, pharmacology, systems biology, and beyond. Contribute significantly to creating innovative therapies for various illnesses, including cancer, by examining the chemical and physical foundations of organisms and biological systems. Gain knowledge from biochemists engaged in active research, specializing in areas like aging, genetic modification, immunology, pharmacology, neural adaptability, sleep science, toxicology, and others. Undertake a combined master's program with a hands-on research thesis, investigating subjects such as antibody changes in B cells and neurological disorders, preparing for a scientific research career in either industry or academia.

Biochemistry forms the foundation of life and explains all vital processes. Both wellness and illness, as well as aging and growth, involve intricate biochemical pathways. Through deeper comprehension of these processes, we can develop more impactful solutions to benefit society. In your initial two years, you'll build a comprehensive grasp of biochemistry, its techniques, and some of its most fascinating uses. You'll have the opportunity to select elective courses in bacteriology, biological diversity, neuroscience, and virology. During your third year, you'll choose five specialized modules covering subjects like genetics, immunology, pharmacology, systems biology, and toxicology. You'll also conduct a research initiative, integrating all the laboratory, analytical, and communication abilities you've acquired. Past students have seen their research featured in prestigious publications such as the European Journal of Neuroscience, the Journal of Virology, and Sleep.
