Biochemistry with Neuroscience - BSc (Hons)

Keele University

Examine the intricate relationship between molecular biology and neurological processes with our accredited Biochemistry with Neuroscience BSc. Our contemporary programme offers exploration of how biological mechanisms underpin neurological conditions, providing critical insights into complex diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's. With access to our state-of-the-art laboratories, opportunities for industry experience, and dedicated employability modules, you'll explore some of the most compelling aspects of 21st-century life science and medical research.**Why choose this course?*** This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology* Develop hands-on practical skills in our state-of-the-art David Attenborough and Central Science Laboratories* Access a wide range of final year research project choices* 20th in England for Neuroscience, Guardian University Guide 2025* Benefit from a comprehensive programme of academic and professional development workshops to enhance your employability skillsOur Biochemistry with Neuroscience degree follows a focused pathway through core areas of the discipline from understanding the structure-function relationships of the major building blocks of life including nucleic acids, carbohydrates and proteins to the regulation and control of major metabolic pathways, gene expression and cellular activity.As you progress through the course you will apply core knowledge of these topics to understanding the structure and function of antibodies, hormones and cell receptors and their roles within multicellular organisms, as well as experimental methods applied in areas of biotechnology and genetic engineering.To apply your learning, you will benefit from a comprehensive laboratory programme that uses our state-of-the-art [**David Attenborough laboratories**](https://www.keele.ac.uk/study/facilities/attenborough-labs/), where you will develop key skills in diverse biochemical and molecular biology techniques. Here you will directly apply theoretical knowledge from across the programme and develop skills in experimental study design and optimisation through experiential, enquiry-based learning, culminating in your final year research project.**About Keele?**\Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
