Biochemistry has been described as 'the basis of modern medicine', 'molecular cell biology', or 'the chemistry of the living cell'. Biochemistry is all of these and for anyone interested in the working and structure of cells at the molecular and sub-molecular levels, biochemistry has a powerful attraction.

Our Biochemistry and Medical Biochemistry courses are designed to give thorough grounding in all appropriate subjects and related analytical sciences. Excellent career prospects exist for appropriately qualified students.
