Biochemistry

About this course

Biochemistry sits at the intersection of biology and chemistry, focusing on the molecular processes that sustain life. It asks questions about how cells generate and use energy, how proteins fold and function, how genetic information is read and translated into biological activity, and how these fundamental processes can go wrong in disease. The discipline is central to medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, and environmental science, and it has been transformed in recent decades by advances in genomics, structural biology, and the molecular tools that allow scientists to manipulate living systems with extraordinary precision. At Wrexham University, this programme includes a foundation year, which provides a thorough grounding in the chemistry and biology needed before engaging with biochemistry at degree level. The foundation year is designed for students who have the po
