Overview

Studying the Biochemistry programme offered at The University of Manchester 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.

Career opportunities

Graduates go into a wide range of sectors, with 90% in work or further study six months after completing the course.

Around one-third of graduates work in scientific research and development, which may require significant postgraduate study, usually a PhD. They then go on to work as researchers at universities, pharmaceutical and bioscience companies and institutes.

The rest of the graduates go into a diverse range of careers, including teaching or communicating science, as well as careers unrelated to biological sciences including management, finance, marketing and the civil service.
