Biochemistry and Microbiology BSc at University of Sheffield

This course allows you to study these two highly complementary subjects that are fundamental to biotechnology and medicine. You'll learn about proteins, enzymes, hormones and receptors, and the importance of bacteria, viruses and other microbes in the environment and as pathogens. We'll also introduce you to how biochemistry and microbiology can be applied to the major challenges affecting humanity today, from understanding the global threat of antimicrobial-resistant infections to feeding a global population.

Our degrees all start with core subject and skills modules that provide the foundation for your studies. As you progress through your degree, you'll have a chance to explore your core subjects in greater depth, choose optional modules across the biosciences to help broaden your knowledge and skills and participate in a research activity. Moving to a different degree course is possible, especially in the first year, and depending on your qualifications.
