You can enter this course by transferring from any of our other BSc Biochemistry courses following a selection process at the start of your second year.

In your third year you will undertake a full-time research placement in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries or at a research institute in the UK or overseas. Recent placements in the UK have included GSK, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Proctor and Gamble. Overseas placements have included the University of the Basque Country, Kyushu University, the Max Planck Institute and De Duve Institute.

Placements are often paid and will give you experience working at an external research laboratory.

At the end of your placement you will write a report outlining the research you have undertaken, which will be assessed as part of your degree.

Units may be subject to change; please check the programme catalogue via the 'course structure' link below for up-to-date information.
