BSc Biochemistry

The BSc Biochemistry at Liverpool John Moores University can be a three-year full-time degree or four years with a foundation year if students need extra support. The course covers many areas, like how cells work, genes, microbes, and proteins. In the early years, students take core classes like human anatomy, basic chemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, and practical lab skills.

Students can also choose extra topics in their final year, take part in research projects, or go on a paid industrial placement. Students learn through a combination of classroom teaching, lab work, workshops, and guided study. Assessments include written essays, lab reports, data analysis, exams, and a final research project. Some work may be online or practical, depending on the module. Feedback is usually given within a few weeks. There are chances for students to follow their own interests through optional modules and real research work. Many go on to specialist degrees in biotechnology, cosmetic science, virology, immunology, or genetics.
