**Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes; it is at the cutting edge of research and is an exceptionally versatile scientific discipline with opportunities in the field continuing to grow and develop.** The knowledge and methods developed by biochemists are applied to all fields of medicine, in agriculture, and in many chemical and health related industries. Biochemistry is also unique in providing teaching and research in both protein structure and function, and genetic engineering – the two basic components of the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology. As part of this course, you have the opportunity to spend a year of study in the USA: our exchange programme with the University of Toledo in Ohio has been running for over 30 years. The University of Toledo is considered to be a prominent leader in taking research from the laboratory to the world and has been recognised by the American Society of Landscape Architects as one of the 22 most beautiful landscaped campuses in the United States. At the University of Salford, we pride ourselves on our research and have recently invested extensively in our facilities to ensure that our students are able to complete research projects that are exciting, inspiring, and contributing useful findings to the field. BSc (Hons) Biochemistry with Studies in the USA provides graduates with some excellent prospective career paths and ensures that you are fully equipped to take advantage of them. Features? Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology if successfully completed with a placement year? Newly refurbished and well-equipped teaching and research laboratories ? The opportunity to explore several research areas, including nanotechnology, drug design and repurposing, cancer and antimicrobial research, natural products, biomarkers, analytical detection of volatiles, mass spectrometry, computational studies, skin modelling, lung diseases, biotechnology, and toxicology
