WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE AT SALFORD? / Travel Opportunities Biochemistry students have the exciting opportunity of spending their second year studying at the University of Toledo, Ohio – considered a prominent leader in taking research from the laboratory and into the world! / Royal Society of Biology Accreditation Our courses are accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, meaning the content, structure and resources we offer meet industry standards. The accreditation also reassures students that they will develop the relevant academic and practical skills required for a career in industry. / Societies At the University of Salford, we have a range of student-run societies which cover all aspects of student life, from academia to sports, politics to the environment, performance to faith.

We have several societies which link to the human and natural sciences. From Biomedical Science to Climate Change to Wildlife, you will find a group of likeminded students and a place to socialise, relax and enhance your skills. There is also the Steminists society, supporting female students across STEM subjects and promoting gender equality for all.
