Biochemistry with Foundation Year

About this course

Biochemistry investigates the molecular processes that sustain life: the structure and function of proteins, the flow of genetic information from DNA to protein, the metabolic pathways that generate energy, and the molecular mechanisms of development, signalling and disease. It is a discipline that demands both rigorous scientific thinking and careful experimental work, and it sits at the heart of modern biology and medicine. Almost every advance in our understanding of disease at the molecular level, from the mechanisms of cancer to the action of viruses, is rooted in biochemistry. At the University of Surrey, the four-year programme includes a foundation year, which builds the mathematical and scientific foundations you need before progressing onto the full degree. You will study the chemistry and biology of living systems, developing expertise in areas including protein biochemistry,
