BSc Biochemistry With Year Abroad
Course overview
This four-year degree explores the chemistry that underpins living things, covering the core ideas of chemistry and biology. The course is flexible, allowing students to choose modules according to what interests them, and they will be taught by leading experts using quality, up-to-date facilities. The course is taught in a "sandwich" structure, blending classroom study with a period of international experience.
An important part of the programme is the year spent abroad, which happens in the third year. Within this year, students will study at one of the university’s partner institutions in other countries. Their progress is checked using different methods, including written exams, practical tests (like lab work), and coursework (such as essays, research projects, and longer written reports).
Entry requirements
Candidates should submit a personal statement in which they outline their reasons for applying for the course and other information regarding their studies. A relevant academic or employer reference is also needed. Students can upload their CVs alongside their applications to demonstrate their work experience.
Grade Requirements:
- Applicants need the equivalent of 120 UCAS Tariff points, including at least 80 points from A-Levels. Required subjects at A-Level are a Grade C in both biology and chemistry, including a pass in the practical element. Optionally, applicants possessing an International Baccalaureate Diploma need 30 points overall, including a minimum of a Grade 5 in Higher Level Biology and Chemistry.
English Language Requirements:
- Applicants from non-English-speaking countries need to score an overall band of 6.0 in IELTS (Academic), which must also include a minimum score of 5.5 in each of the four components (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), or they may submit equivalent scores from other accepted Secure English Language Tests (SELT).
