The Bachelors Degree in Biochemistry: Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Trinity College Dublin is your gateway to understanding the fundamental molecular processes that underpin life. If you are fascinated by how living organisms function, why diseases occur, and how new treatments can be developed, this course offers a deep dive into these critical areas. You will explore topics ranging from protein structure and function to advanced research in neurobiology, cancer biology, and metabolic diseases, preparing you for a dynamic career in the biomedical sciences and beyond. This programme is ideal for students with a strong interest in both chemistry and biology.
You will study this undergraduate degree full-time on campus over four years, beginning with foundational modules in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. As you progress, your third year will focus on core biochemistry topics, including protein structure, cell biology, and nucleic acids, complemented by individual and group projects and science communication training. In your final year, you will undertake an individual Capstone research project, working alongside a Trinity professor in their laboratory on cutting-edge research in areas like neurodegeneration or cancer progression. You will graduate with the analytical skills and practical experience sought after in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and medical science.
