The BSc (Hons) Biochemistry and Neuroscience at Keele University offers you a unique opportunity to explore the intricate mechanisms of life at the molecular level and the complexities of the brain. This undergraduate degree is ideal for scientifically curious students aiming to understand disease, develop novel therapies, and contribute to advancements in human health. You will gain a robust foundation in biochemistry, focusing on macromolecular structure-function, metabolism, and genetics, alongside a deep dive into neuroscience, examining brain development, function, and neurological conditions. This dual focus prepares you for a dynamic career at the intersection of these vital scientific disciplines.
This full-time, three-year on-campus programme integrates theoretical knowledge with essential practical skills. You will engage with core modules in biochemistry and neuroscience, including practical skills in bioscience, gene and protein engineering, and research methods, alongside opportunities to explore specialised areas like behavioural neuroscience or brain disease. Your learning journey culminates in a significant research project or dissertation in your final year, allowing you to investigate a topic of personal interest. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding and the analytical capabilities sought after in roles within pharmaceutical research, clinical science, biotechnology, and further postgraduate study.
