BSc Biochemistry with Entrepreneurship
About this course
BSc Biochemistry with Entrepreneurship, a biochemistry degree that combines cellular and molecular biology with enterprise training. The course includes an optional foundation year and offers an accelerated route to professional recognition through Royal Society of Biology accreditation. The first year covers foundational concepts through Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Exploring Enterprise. Year two focuses on advanced biochemical processes with modules such as Proteins, Cell Metabolism & Metabolic Control, and Chemistry of Biomolecules. The final year involves specialized study and assessment through the Biochemistry - Essay Paper and Chemistry of Biological Processes (E), with optional project modules including the Life Sciences Enterprise Project. Optional modules across the degree allow specialization in areas such as enterprise strategy, advanced technology enterprise, and molecular medicine.
