Biomedical Sciences (Biochemistry) with Placement Year

About this course

Biomedical science sits at the meeting point of biology, chemistry, and medicine, dedicated to understanding how the human body works at the molecular and cellular level and what goes wrong in disease. The biochemistry pathway takes that fundamental orientation and deepens it, focusing on the chemical processes that underpin life: enzyme function, metabolic pathways, gene expression, and the molecular mechanisms that cause conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This four-year full-time degree at Brunel University London includes a placement year, giving you the chance to apply your scientific training in a professional environment before your final year. You will build a thorough grounding in biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and the laboratory techniques that biomedical scientists use every day, from spectroscopy and chromatography to molecular cloning a
