This module aims to deliver knowledge and understanding of the major biochemical processes which occur inside all cells. You'll explore complex biochemical pathways to determine how they work and contribute to cellular function.

This module will explore the chemistry of, and methods of identifying, common organic compounds as well as give you the chance to experience some synthetic and analytical practical activities.

This module covers the pharmacology of the major body systems and offers a perspective on the therapeutic interventions in modern medicine You'll complete this module with the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to enter careers in medical science, pharma or related industries.

This module develops the core knowledge about microorganisms and their increasingly important role in industrial processes across a range of applications including the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.

In this module you'll get to use a range of equipment such as spectrometers, photometers and chromatograms to perform procedures that are common in analytical labs such as food testing, environmental monitoring or forensics services, as well as quality control departments in industries such as pharmaceutical companies.

Achievement of the module requires a minimum of 20h documented work experience. In addition to the taught elements, you'll complete a series of lab-based technical competencies such as the use of the autoclave and sterile technique amongst others.

You'll have the opportunity to plan and practically investigate a topic of your choice, using the practical skills gained during the first year, and acquiring new laboratory skills. At the end of this module, you will be able to confidently use industry-standard laboratory equipment such as UV-Vis spectrophotometers, rotary evaporators, autoclaves, micropipettes, electrophoresis rigs, centrifuges and chromatography columns.

This module aims to develop your knowledge of how the immune system works in addition to demonstrating the importance of immunoassays and specific reagents in science and medicine. You'll develop knowledge of non-specific and specific works immunity, how function changes in disease states and how this knowledge is used and applied practically.

This module develops the knowledge and understanding needed to analyse and evaluate the inheritance of physical properties passed between generations as well as gives insight into genes that affect biological processes in human and bacterial cells.

This module explores the ways in which drug molecules cause their effects in the human body. You'll study how medicinal chemists design new drugs or alter existing ones to improve their properties. This will include the use of computer software to make predictions about molecular properties based on their structures. You'll also get the chance to learn to synthesise some medicinal compounds in our laboratories.

This module allows you to develop a laboratory-based research project in a subject of your own interest. You'll receive support from tutors as you research your chosen topic and apply your practical skills in our well-equipped laboratories.
