Biochemistry and Biotechnology
We offer three and four year study options for the BSc Biochemistry or Biotechnology with Management programmes:
- The three-year programmes include two years studying biochemistry or biotechnology, followed by one year in the Business School
- The four-year programmes bring the first three years up to the same level as the full BSc Biochemistry or Biotechnology programme, followed by a year in the Business School.
Find out more about the Biochemistry and Biotechnology course options, including course structure, entry requirements and how to apply.
