Biochemistry 60
BIOCHEMISTRY FACULTY OF LIFE SCIENCES
Choose from a wide range of subject options and become immersed in groundbreaking research, joining leading scientists on work that could have a significant impact on future generations.
Why study Biochemistry at Bristol? Our school has an outstanding reputation for the quality of our teaching and we score highly in student surveys*. Teaching is delivered through lectures and small-group tutorials and we will provide you with thorough training in experimental techniques in our teaching laboratories.
Your personal tutor will provide support throughout your degree and our online resource, eBiolabs, will help you get the most out of your laboratory sessions (
bristol.ac.uk/ebiolabs). We offer summer studentships and dedicated, subject- specific employability and enterprise sessions.
In the final year of all courses you can choose to undertake a practical research project in which you can collaborate with world-leading scientists on pioneering research work.
Our graduates forge careers in a broad range of scientific disciplines as well as non-scientific professions, such as teaching, law and finance. You may be employed in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, or in a medical or agricultural research establishment. Biochemists are also employed in the scientific and medical publishing sector and as patent examiners. Among graduates from our BSc courses in 2016 (our most recent data), 46 per cent were pursuing further study six months after graduation, including higher degrees in biochemistry and related sciences such as human biology.

BSc/MSci Biochemistry A-levels AAA or A*AB (AAC†
or ABB† ) IB 36 (32† )
The first two years of these courses are identical. In the first year you will receive a thorough foundation in biochemistry and will select from a wide choice of options, including anatomy, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology and physiology.
Your second year combines biochemistry and molecular genetics with a choice of units such as neurophysiology, infection and immunity, mathematics and languages. We focus on developing practical and research skills throughout the first two years and offer studentships and subject-specific employability and enterprise sessions.
BSc students will select from a choice of advanced options in biochemistry in their third year and undertake a research project in collaboration with internationally- renowned scientists.
MSci students will complete advanced laboratory skills training in year three, before embarking on an individual research project of up to 16 weeks in year four under the supervision of one of our research group leaders. They will complete their studies by choosing two advanced options, which could include Synthetic Biology, Cell Biology of Development and Disease, and Protein Assemblies and Molecular Machines.
BSc/MSci Biochemistry with Medical Biochemistry A-levels AAA or A*AB (AAC†
or ABB† ) IB 36 (32†
Our Biochemistry with Medical Biochemistry degrees follow a similar structure to BSc/ MSci Biochemistry. Alongside the mandatory biochemistry components you will select from a range of units relevant to medicine, allowing you to choose your specialism while developing your knowledge and research skills. Topics include pharmacology, physiology, infection and immunity, and molecular pathology.
In addition to the core lectures and project work in your third year, you have the opportunity to study medically relevant aspects of biochemistry, such as those relating to cancer, cardiovascular disease and drug design. MSci students will carry out an extended laboratory project in a relevant research area in the fourth year. You will also study Cell Biology of Development and Disease alongside a choice of either Synthetic Biology or Protein Assemblies and Molecular Machines.
