The BSc/MSci Biochemistry with Molecular Biology and Biotechnology degrees follow a similar structure to the Biochemistry courses but with a choice of options that allow you to develop your knowledge and research skills in topics relevant to molecular biology and biotechnology.
In your first two years you will supplement your study of biochemistry with units relevant to molecular biology and biotechnology. Recent options include Fundamentals of Molecular Microbiology, Disease and Defence, and Infection and Immunity. In addition to the core lectures and project work in your third year, you have the opportunity to study specialist, cutting- edge aspects of biochemistry, such as synthetic biology DNA-protein interactions, and protein science in therapy and technology.
As an MSci student you will carry out an extended laboratory project in your fourth year in a relevant research area. You will also study Synthetic Biology alongside a choice of either Cell Biology of Development and Disease or Protein Assemblies and Molecular Machines.

You can enter our four-year BSc Biochemistry with Study in Industry degree by transferring from any of our BSc biochemistry courses following a selection process at the start of your second year. You will gain experience as an employee in an external research laboratory in year three before rejoining the final year of your degree.
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. Our students find placements within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors in the UK and at research institutes in the UK and overseas. In recognition of the academic excellence and research training provided by our Biochemistry with Study in Industry degree, it is one of the first in the UK to be accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
