Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biochemistry] From Nottingham Trent University

You will use your knowledge and skills to study key aspects of:

• DNA / RNA synthesis
• protein structure and function
• enzyme catalysis
• metabolism control
• biochemical disorders
• antibody and DNA technology
• immunology
• the molecular genetics of human diseases.

This course provides an in-depth approach to Biochemistry and the molecular aspects of cells. You will examine the key aspects of macromolecule and cell structure and function, and inter-relationships in both practical and theoretical contexts.

Why choose this course?

• This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology
• We are 3rd in the UK for Bioscience students on year-long work placements (HESA 2017/18).
• You will have the option to undertake a 12-month paid work placement in your third year. Our Placement Office and the School's excellent links with companies, including GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer, facilitate this.

You will also gain hands-on experience in fundamental techniques including:

• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
• molecular cloning (DNA modification)
• protein analysis
• biochemical catalysis
• kinetic models as well as bioinformatics as applied to the analysis of gene databases and protein structure-function relationships.
