    9 Text 8 Biochemistry

     How do you sense cold and heat? Why do you have colour vision? How does
one cell know what another is doing? All these functions, in the end, are controlled
by biochemical reactions. Biochemistry is therefore at the heart of all biological
studies and is perhaps the most important area of biological research. The
Biochemistry award at Luton introduces metabolic studies in a variety of organisms
including plants, microorganisms and humans. There is also an in-depth investigation
into modern biochemical conundrums such as the control of metabolic events, and the
unravelling of the secrets of DNA and its manipulation.
     The course provides a high level of practical training that ranges from simple
biochemical tests to the use of modern laboratory equipment. You will be trained in
basic but essential laboratory work and, by the time you complete the course, you
will be able to use modern analytical tools to investigate particular biochemical
problems. You will have the opportunity to undertake a final year honours project
which is often linked to staff research and could lead to your first scientific
publication. Staff research in the biochemistry area is buoyant and many staff
undertake collaborative research with research organisations and industrial partners
throughout the UK.
     Transferable skills are highlighted throughout your course of study and in
combination with your hands-on practical skills provide you with a head start in the
job market. The course is assessed throughout by a mixture of examinations and
course work with many modules being assessed entirely through the work you
produce during the year. The Biochemistry course is particularly attractive to
employers when combined with Biology, Biotechnology, Health Science, Human
Biology, Pharmacology and Plant Biology.
