Medical Biochemistry

About this course

At the heart of modern medicine, Medical Biochemistry explores the molecular and chemical processes that underlie health and disease. It is a discipline that asks fundamental questions about how the body's cells communicate, how enzymes catalyse the reactions that sustain life, how genetic information is expressed and regulated, and what goes wrong at the molecular level when disease takes hold. By understanding these processes in molecular detail, medical biochemists contribute to the development of diagnostic tools, therapeutic drugs, and personalised medicine strategies that are reshaping healthcare. At Swansea University, this four-year full-time programme integrates the core sciences of biochemistry with the medical context in which their applications matter most. You will study molecular biology, cell signalling, metabolism, genetics, and protein biochemistry alongside disease-spe
