Undergraduate Admissions

Welcome to the School of Biochemistry’s Undergraduate Admissions pages. We hope that you will find the information on these pages useful if you are considering applying for Biochemistry at the University of Bristol.

Our excellent teaching and our very high international research reputation show that we are one of the best Biochemistry schools in the country and our excellent facilities makes Bristol an outstanding choice if you are considering studying Biochemistry.

To enable you to see if Bristol is the right place for you to study, we hold Open Days in June and September, and individual visits to the school can also be arranged during vacations by mutual agreement. If you receive an offer from us and are based in the UK you will receive an invitation to attend a UCAS Day between February and March to meet staff and students, so that your choice can be as informed as possible. If you are not resident in the UK you are also welcome to visit the School of Biochemistry if you are visiting the country. We are always happy to answer questions by e-mail, telephone, fax or mail if you need further information.

We recruit talented students and give them a stimulating environment in which to study Biochemistry. We hope that you will consider joining our school as a step towards an exciting and worthwhile career as a biochemist.

Best wishes,

Dr Kelly Moule, Undergraduate Admissions Tutor
