Biochemistry (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Biochemistry is the molecular science of life, examining the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It asks how proteins are built and how they function, how genes are expressed and regulated, how cells generate and use energy, how signals are transmitted, and how the molecular machinery of life goes wrong in disease. It is a discipline that sits at the heart of the life sciences, providing the fundamental chemical understanding that underpins biology, medicine, pharmacology, and biotechnology. At the University of Bedfordshire, this four-year full-time programme with a foundation year provides a supported entry into a scientifically demanding subject. The foundation year develops your understanding of the chemistry and biology that the main degree builds on, making the programme accessible to students who need a structured scientific preparation.
