Biochemistry

About this course

Biochemistry investigates the molecular machinery of life, using the tools and concepts of chemistry to understand how biological systems work at the level of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and the metabolic pathways that connect them. It is a discipline with immediate practical relevance: virtually every advance in medicine, drug discovery and biotechnology in recent decades has depended on biochemical understanding. At the University of Westminster, this three-year full-time degree provides a thorough grounding in biochemistry alongside a sandwich year and a year abroad, giving you both extended professional experience and international exposure as part of your undergraduate education. A work placement component adds further professional depth. You will study the structure and function of biological macromolecules, enzyme kinetics, metabolism, molecular biology, cell signalling and t
