该联合荣誉学位课程将生物化学与微生物学相结合。生物化学是在分子水平上对生物系统的研究。生物化学以及分子生物学的相关领域对于理解生命的分子基础及其在疾病过程中的作用非常重要。微生物学是对最小的生物（微生物或微生物）的研究，包括病毒，细菌，真菌，藻类和原生动物。微生物是人类疾病的主要原因，但它们也可用于从污染控制到重要治疗化合物生产的工业过程。选择特定学位组合的机会将使您能够进入专门的生物医学科学领域，例如神经科学，心血管研究，免疫药理学，工业免疫学，药物研究，生物化学，微生物学和细菌学。<br> 4年制课程
Study with usStudy the smallest living organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoaDevelop an understanding of the molecular basis of life, and how alteration of these molecular pathways leads to disease processesOur courses are underpinned by our strong research base, links with industry, the NHS and international partnersOpportunity to study or take part in lab-based research abroadWhy this courseBiochemistry is the study of biological systems at molecular level. Biochemistry and the related field of molecular biology are important in understanding the molecular basis of life and its role in the disease process.Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes) and includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Microbes are a major cause of disease in humans but they can also be useful in industrial processes from pollution control to the production of important therapeutic compounds.The opportunity to choose specific degree combinations will allow you to go into specialist biomedical science areas such as neuroscience, cardiovascular research, immunopharmacology, industrial immunology, drug research, biochemistry, microbiology and bacteriology.AssessmentKnowledge and understanding are assessed by written examinations, essays, presentations and computer-aided learning (CAL) exercises and quizzes. These are all available on our virtual learning environment, Myplace.’Competence is assessed through practical tests, practical write-ups, project reports and CAL exercises and quizzes.Communication skills are assessed through essays and oral presentations.Project work is assessed from project reports and oral presentations.There’s an individual research project in the final year of the course where you’ll demonstrate research skills, approaches and problem-solving.
