Biochemistry at York provides students with an understanding of the fundamental processes that govern life. Our Chemistry department provides you with a “first-principles” basis that is built on within the Biology department to provide an understanding of how different classes of biological molecules interact together to capture energy, build complex molecular machines, and send the signals that produce thought. The opportunity to specialise is provided through a flexible course structure.
