All of our Biomedical and Biomolecular Sciences degrees are divided into two phases:

  • phase 1 is shared by all degrees and provides a broad introduction to biomolecular sciences
  • phase 2 provides specialist topics relating to your degree

This flexible structure gives you the chance to try a broad range of topics, helping you to see where your interests lie before you specialise.

Phase 1 (Stage 1 and part of Stage 2)

You're introduced to biomolecular sciences through a series of modules.

Phase 2 (remainder of degree)

  • You'll study topics such as:
  • DNA replication, recombination and repair
  • cell signalling and cell cycle
  • proteins, enzymes and analysis
  • protein trafficking and membrane
  • biochemistry of cancer, chronic diseases and gene expression
  • applied and integrated biochemistry

You'll complete a research project in an area linked to your degree that interests you.
