B.SC (HONS) BIOCHEMISTRY WITH STUDIES IN THE USA
Biochemistry is the foundation for understanding all biological processes. The knowledge and methods developed by biochemists are applied to all fields of medicine and agriculture as well as many chemical and health related industries. Biochemistry is unique in providing teaching and research in both protein structure and function, and genetic engineering - the two basic components of the fast expanding field of biotechnology.
This course includes a year of study in the USA at the University of Toledo in Ohio. This exchange programme has been running for over 35 years. The University of Toledo is considered to be a top global player for taking research from the laboratory to the world, and is recognised by the American Society of Landscape Architects as one of the 22 most beautiful landscaped campuses in the USA. The University of Toledo is based in Ohio and just an hour's drive from Detroit - the largest city in Michigan. Detroit has a major international airport, hosting one of the largest airline hubs in the country, meaning that travel around the USA and further afield whilst you are on exchange is very easy. Situated on the western trip of Lake Eerie, Toledo is less than a five-hour drive from Toronto and Chicago.
Biochemistry is at the cutting-edge of research and an exceptionally versatile scientific discipline where opportunities in the field continuing to develop. Graduates have excellent prospective career paths and we'll ensure that you are fully equipped to take advantage of them.
This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. Accredited degree programmes contain a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge and key skills, and prepare graduates to address the needs of employers.
You will:
- Have the opportunity to study in the USA for a year
- Explore areas of research such as nanotechnology, drug design and repurposing, cancer and antimicrobial, lung diseases, biotechnology, toxicology and much more
- Gain the skills needed to take advantage of career opportunities in an expanding field
