I'm having fun, I would definitely recommend UEA to others! I've met many great people and the freedom of living away from home is amazing. My advice would be to get involved, go out to the uni nights and join the clubs!

Course programme
The degree is a three-year programme that consists of an in-depth introduction to fundamental biochemical science in the first year, followed by flexible second and third years that allow you to tailor your course to biology, chemistry or a balance of both.
In the final year, you’ll enhance your knowledge of biochemistry as a modern research discipline and have the option to undertake an individual research project that will hone your expertise in an area that takes your interest.
First yearThe first year is designed to give you a grounding in fundamental biochemistry, incorporating compulsory modules such as: Fundamentals of Molecular Biology and Genetics; Fundamentals of Cell Biology and Biochemistry; Chemistry of Carbon-Based Compounds; Bonding, Structure and Periodicity; Practical and Quantitative Skills in Chemistry; and Physical and Analytical Methods in the Biomolecular Sciences.
Second yearYour second year will build upon the skills gained in year one with further compulsory modules (Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biophysical Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry), while allowing you to begin focusing your attention on biology, chemistry or both through options including: Cell Biology, Genetics, Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry.
Third yearThe final year will introduce you to contemporary topics in biochemistry, culminating in an individual research project that will bring together everything you’ve learnt. There are only a few compulsory modules at this stage – Molecular Enzymology in Biology and Medicine; Protein Structure, Chemistry and Engineering; Research Project or Biology Research Skills – and a very wide range of optional modules to help you really tailor your studies at the end of the degree.
These include Microbial Biotechnology; Genomes, Genes and Genomics; Infection and Immunity; Advanced Topics in Organic Chemistry; Inorganic Compounds: Structure and Function; Organic compounds: Structure and Properties; and Microbiology.
