“My degree in Genetics and Biochemistry gave me a good grounding that prepared me very well for my PhD. The Molecular Biology of Development module inspired me to work in the area of Developmental Biology, which is what I work at today. I will be eternally grateful for the chance I was given and the teaching I received. ”

BSc Genetics and Biochemistry
“Biochemistry is a very interesting and competitive course which helps me to develop my knowledge and understanding of science and medical fields. Throughout the Biochemistry course I have developed my practical skills because I have spent a lot of time in the laboratories, taking part in many experiments during the academic year.”
