UCL understands the most important skills needed for the next generation of experts in biochemistry. In addition to imparting foundational knowledge in biochemistry and molecular biology, we provide students with an immersive research opportunity, fostering practical skills and exposure to real-world applications in a stimulating academic environment. In the first year of the programme, you will take compulsory modules that are similar to those taken in the first year of other biosciences programmes. In year two, all Biochemistry students take courses in Molecular Biology and Biomolecular Structure and Function. Those on the pure Biochemistry stream take Metabolism and Physical Chemistry and select a module in either Cell Biology, or an additional module in Chemistry. Students taking the Molecular Biology pathway select a module in Metabolism and one in Cell Biology instead. All pathways give students an optional course too. After year two, you may apply to transfer to the more research-intensive MSci in Biochemistry, or the BSc with a Year in Industry, gaining invaluable experience in an academic or industrial research laboratory. The compulsory modules in the final year of the BSc Biochemistry programme will focus principally on deepening your knowledge and understanding of Molecular Bioscience, including carrying out an investigative research project. The level of choice increases in year three allowing you to further specialise; you will have the opportunity to choose optional modules in different areas of biochemistry and, depending on your choice of optional modules, an elective module in a subject area of your interest.
