Program Description

Study biochemistry in award-winning laboratories taught by inspirational research active lecturers.

• Gain knowledge and practical experience of molecular, biochemical and analytical science.
• Combine the chemical and biological sciences to understand cellular mechanisms underpinning disease and advances in diagnostic and treatment strategies.
• Apply the material taught at university to real-world experience as a biochemist with year-long or summer placement opportunities available.
• Transfer to the MSci route for a specialist year of research intensive study working alongside our internationally recognised researchers.

This is an academically challenging course which will develop your practical and digital skills. You will gain a deep understanding of the subject through placements and extensive lab work in our award-winning laboratories graduating as an experienced and employable biochemist.

If you don't meet the entry requirements for our BSc (Hons) courses, or you’d like extra preparation before starting degree-level study, we recommend you join the foundation year. You will build your confidence in biology, chemistry and maths, and apply your theoretical knowledge in practical laboratory sessions. You will also familiarise yourself with Sheffield Hallam’s staff and facilities — ensuring that you are fully prepared to begin at degree level study.
