Biochemistry

About this course

Biochemistry is the scientific discipline that investigates the chemical processes underlying all living systems, from the molecular mechanisms of individual proteins to the metabolic pathways that sustain life. It examines how biological molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, are structured and how they function, and how these molecular processes collectively give rise to the phenomena of living cells, organisms, and ecosystems. Biochemistry occupies a central position in modern biology and medicine, providing the molecular understanding that underpins drug design, genetic engineering, diagnostics, and our growing ability to intervene in disease. At the University of Bedfordshire, this three-year full-time degree develops your understanding of biochemistry in a department with connections to the life sciences industry.
