About this course

Biochemistry is the chemistry of life: the discipline that examines the molecular processes that underlie all biological phenomena, from the replication of DNA and the synthesis of proteins to the metabolism that provides energy for cellular activity and the signalling pathways that allow cells to communicate and respond to their environment. By combining aspects of biology and chemistry at the molecular level, as the current description accurately captures, biochemistry enables students to understand the biological processes that influence all living organisms, from bacteria and yeast to the human body in health and disease. At the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, this four-year full-time Extended Degree programme builds in extra time and academic support to allow students to reach their potential in a demanding scientific discipline. You will develop expertise in the molecular
