Course Overview - Biochemistry BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons)
Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the fundamental chemical processes within living organisms. Biochemistry considers molecular-level processes across a range of disciplines including genetics, microbiology, forensics and medicine. Because of this breadth, biochemistry is hugely important, and advances in this field over the past 100 years have been staggering. It’s an exciting time to be part of this fascinating area of study.

Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the fundamental chemical processes within living organisms. Biochemistry considers molecular-level processes across a range of disciplines including genetics, microbiology, forensics and medicine. Because of this breadth, biochemistry is hugely important, and advances in this field over the past 100 years have been staggering. It’s an exciting time to be part of this fascinating area of study.<br/><br/>At Essex, we specialise in structure-function relationships of biomolecules which offers insight into the interactions that occur in the complex cellular pathways that control vision and cell death. We also use computational approaches and bioinformatics to complement our research. On our BSc Biochemistry you study areas including:<br/><br/><br/>- Molecular enzymology<br/><br/><br/>- Neurodegeneration<br/><br/><br/>- Structural biology<br/><br/><br/>- Bioenergetics<br/><br/><br/>- Metabolism<br/><br/><br/>In our large, friendly School, you learn through a combination of lectures, seminars and practical lab sessions, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and develop skills by doing experiments at the laboratory bench.<br/><br/>You gain a solid grounding across a range of related topics, with the chance to contribute to real-world research projects in your final year of study.<br/><br/>Visit our biochemistry subject page for more information and content.
