Course Description
Our BSc Biochemistry with Entrepreneurship course will enable you to combine science with business skills - a key driver of employability.
Many exciting discoveries made in this area have contributed to our understanding of life, the solving of medical problems, and to the discovery and production of safe and effective drugs.
You will learn about topics such as the structure of biomolecules, and how they interact in essential processes and pathways in our cells. You will also study the actions of enzymes, and how they can be inhibited by drugs, as well as genetic engineering and molecular biology.
The entrepreneurship units will be offered via the Masood (Manchester) Enterprise Centre (MEC) of the Alliance Manchester Business School at the University, exposing you to key learning in business innovation. The course also includes a year in industry on a research or business placement.
