Biochemistry with a Placement Year

About this course

Biochemistry investigates the chemical processes that sustain living organisms, from the molecular machinery of the cell to the complex networks of reactions that regulate metabolism, gene expression, and biological signalling. It is a discipline that sits at the heart of modern biology, medicine, and biotechnology, providing the mechanistic understanding needed to make sense of how life works at its most fundamental level. Questions about how enzymes catalyse reactions, how DNA is replicated and repaired, how cells communicate and differentiate, and how drugs interact with their biological targets are all biochemical questions with direct relevance to human health and disease. At the University of East Anglia, this four-year full-time programme is offered as Biochemistry with a Placement Year, with the extra year spent working in a research or industry setting.
