Bachelor [Biochemistry with Professional Training Year] From Cardiff University

Biochemistry is the study of biological systems at the molecular level and it has a rich history of scientific discoveries, from enzymology and metabolic pathways to the discovery of genes and the structure of DNA. Today the subject embraces important new areas, such as genomics, systems and synthetic biology.

During your degree, you willÊdiscover the key role that biochemistry contributes to advances in all biological disciplines, including medicine and biotechnology. You will receive extensive hands-on training in laboratory and (depending on module selection and availability) field research techniques, and develop widely transferable skills in computing, statistics, data analysis and presentation.

Your third year is spent on a professional work placement related to your degree. Experience shows that this greatly enhances your subsequent employment prospects.
