Biochemistry with a Year in Professional Practice

About this course

Biochemistry is the science of life at the molecular level, examining the chemical processes and substances that sustain living organisms. It asks how proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids are structured and how they function, how genes are expressed and regulated, how metabolism is organised and controlled, and how these molecular mechanisms are altered in disease. It is a discipline that connects directly to some of the most pressing challenges in health, agriculture and environmental science, making its findings immediately relevant to medicine, biotechnology and sustainability. This four-year full-time degree at the University of Kent includes a year in professional practice, giving you an extended period of work-based experience in an industry, research or healthcare setting as part of the programme. This is a significant asset: the experience of working in a profession
