Chemical and Molecular Biology (BSc) (Part-time: Four-year) - 2013/2014 entry

Deep insight into the functioning of living systems depends upon a thorough knowledge of the chemical and physical principles that govern the structure and behaviour of biomolecules. Chemical and Molecular Biology encompasses those areas of science devoted to a detailed understanding of the fundamental molecular and biochemical components of living systems and of how these components interact in the functional (healthy) and dysfunctional (diseased) organism. Such understanding finds application in numerous areas including basic biotechnology, diagnostics and forensics, and drug discovery. This programme will provide you with the knowledge and skills essential to embark on a career in these or other exciting areas of science.

This course is also available for full-time evening study.
