Let me know anything you want to see in the series or any questions on this video below! x
I am student of biochemistry in india and i am in first year ,i saw your videos i really liked it☺️,I want you to suggest some books for biochem students
The best suggestion I have is Voet and Voet Biochemistry for a starting book that covers most things :)
@@NooStenningVideos Thank you, Idk why everyone suggests lehninger here😐
Was wondering if you could do a video describing possible careers with a Biochemistry degree. Like what will you do/ your friends doing the degree after uni?
@Noo Stenning, I'm from india. I wanted to know what are the career options available abroad with Biochemistry degree. Please also make a video about yur further planning related to this degree if any😜...
Looking forward to this series, it’s really difficult to find good videos about biochemistry ❤️
Babe, you haven't started the series you said you'd start. I keep searching for your videos on Biochemistry and this is the only one I've found. Please do the series, it'll really help.
I don’t do biochem, I study computer science with applied mathematics. But I always find biochem and biotech so interesting. Maybe I’ll do my masters in a biotech related subject, because honestly it looks so cool, biology and tech has always been interesting to me.
Have you considered bioinformatics?
Indeed, you could make an impact in bioinformatics/computational biology. Very good job prospects and increasingly wanted/needed in research/pharma/biotech...
I really like biochem and I’m always so happy and excited to learn more in that field but I found out that there aren’t many jobs if u get a biochem degree and the pay is low. So now I think I’m gonna study computer science because there are a lot of jobs and the pay is good . I really don’t know if I should follow my passion or go for computer science
@@iiitsnoor How about bioinformatics, then? ;)
@@Biomeducated if I can do bioinformatics with a cs major and some bio courses I’ll totally go for it ! Thnx for the advice
I'm 15 but I'm really interested in biochemistry cause I wanna do it when I grow up
Why?
@@neelanguna3993 why not
Same
So did you choose it
I went to college (USA) and received my bachelors degree in biology, i love it I love biology as a subject and always want to learn more. But recently I have found from working with chemists, that biology majors are looked down upon and biology is considered an easy "soft science" . Now normally this wouldn't bother me but I will admit, it has been bothering me. I need to go back to school to get my masters degree and I have been considering biochemistry, I do find it very interesting, but also I want to prove that I can do it and stick it to the naysayers. Maybe not the best reason, but I want to make sure I learn as much as I can before I actually go back to School, if I don't do biochemistry I will probably go into microbiology. But anyways thanks for your video it will help me Prepare and decide. Also I want to know if anyone else has had the problem of different scientific schools of thought talking down to each other, especially biology being looked down upon. Thanks.
I was just watching ur first part of this video and I see this come up I immediately clicked ❤️
I'm starting biochem at Bath in September and this was honestly so helpful tysm!! xxx
Aw you’re welcome! Hope all the Bath vids are useful x
I'd love if you would mention why you chose biochem over any other biological sciences? I'm planning on doing biomed in september, but when I was looking at biomed and biochem I found they looked extremely similar (obviously biomed doesnt include plants though)- both focused on more cellular level biology, rather than macrobiology. I'm just worried incase I've chosen the wrong one x
I’ll definitely cover this! Biomed is definitely more specialised (still broad though) I also think at most unis you can swap!! X
The finger-wave hahaha I'm deadddd
I don’t know what came over me 😂
Yayayayaya I love these videos noo ✨❤️❤️
This videos is so inspiring 🙌
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for about 3.5 years and I’m going to bath to study pharmacy this September. Would you be able to do a general video about going to the uni of Bath and the highs and lows of your experience or Q&A. Or how you manage money as a student, what you need to take and thing people don’t generally tell you about uni. I know you have some older videos, It would just be interesting to see your perspective now you’ve finished your degree. Also love your videos :) x
Absolutely! I’m planning to do a bunch of videos including basically everything you mentioned so keep an eye out x
@@NooStenningVideos hii mam I wonder if you can give me ur what's app no plz I am very nervous about my career can u plz help me or plz reply
I'm studing Community Health officer CHO in medicine 💉 and Biochemistry is difficult for me to understand.i am very happy to hear and getting your relevant notes, thanks u continue to do the good job!!!!
This gets me so hyped up. 😵💫🤩
I’m currently studying biochemistry and was just wondering what you plan to do now that you are coming to the end of your degree? Are you going to go into grad school :) ?
Hi, so I’m actually not continuing with biochemistry (I never really intended to haha!) and I’ll make a video about it soon :) but if you’re wondering about future directions for the degree I’m also going to make a video on that!
Noo Stenning oh ok! Perfect , thank you :)
What size is your year group? Do you feel like you know the lecturers and can go to them for help?
I think about 100! Depends on the lecture to be honest, some are smaller in 2nd and final year and some lecturers are more approachable haha- we have personal tutors, lab supervisors and workshop runners too so in general yes :)
Noo Stenning amazing thank you for replying ! xx
Finger wags are cute as hell lol
Good overview of courses though, I'm physics major but I'm really attracted to protein folding problem and abiogenesis. Plus molecular bio vids on TH-cam are utterly dumbfounding in what your field has discovered. So I'd like to be able to actually know what's going on when watching those vids, thx for video
Very informative video.. Thank You!
typically with a degree in biochem would you know how to run a PCR test for, say, covid for example? Great idea to do this series, love it!
I know how to run a PCR yes haha so I guess I can be apply that to any sample!
@@NooStenningVideos cool!
@@davidsweeney111 £0
I declared biochem as my major not knowing what tf biochem is because I didn’t like the chemistry major my school offered 🏃♀️
Thanks for telling me what this is
Thank you!!
Have you worked with lab animals? I study biochem in Belarus and I was so surprised (in a negative way, bc there was no info about it) that we'll have to test them next 3 years (right now I'm on my first year). Just curious if I can find any job that will not be connected with testing on lab animals (is it only some kind of docking?) Love your channel! You are so inspiring c:
I’ve never even done a dissection let alone done anything with lab animals! Perhaps it’s to do with being in the UK and UK law I don’t know...the closest we got with using rat brain so in that sense yes I used lab animals but there was always an option to not if you really couldn’t they would find a way around it :) I’m pretty sure there are jobs where at least you wouldn’t have to physically test on animals for sure x
Noo Stenning thank your for your answer 😌
Love your accent, Biochemistry is a fascination area to Major in. If I could go back and do it all over again. I Would choose Biochemistry as a potential area to major in. I always had an interest in Learning and studying about Cancer, learning all about the different type of chemo medicines. How they are developed and how they affect the Human Body and why. I know that students that don't go to medical school usually choose a Biochem Major as an alternative 😉.
Great video! Can't wait for the rest x
Heya,
first of all, I’d like to thank you for this highly informative video which I enjoyed very much!
I know you‘ve moved on from biochemistry quite a while ago but I was wondering if you could give me a brief inside into the content of the module “entrepreneurial biotechnology”?
I’m a med student from Germany and highly interested in biochemistry/ biotechnology, especially related to entrepreneurship!
Thanks a lot!
Best greetings from GER,
Anni
thank you! Of course - so the module was mostly based on the application of science to solving problems in life with an over arching business theme. We studied the many aspects (finance, advertising etc) of a biotech business trying to innovate x
Can u give suggestions to why a person may feel ill, based on your knowledge of Biochemistry?
For example: Why eating a certain food may have cause my head and eyes to hurt.
Stunning bedroom!
Could u make a video that which type of person will be better in biochem(like how to know this major fits for me) cuz i love the sound of most modules u said but the thing is im not sure if its actually a good fit to my personality or not
hey this is very helpful am in my third year biochem degree....any advice on how to come up with my final year project research 🙏
I have a question, idk if this is on topic but, do you think an ipad with a keyboard is fine for university? I have a computer at home but i dont have a laptop. Or is it better to buy a laptop?
Totally depends on your course! Some courses require certain programmes eg statistics software and if you need to use it a lot it may be easier to have a laptop that can run it HOWEVER you can just use the university’s computers that normally have them so in my opinion an iPad with a keyboard will be totally fine x
@@NooStenningVideos ok thank you!
beautiful video
Going undergrad next fall wish me luck
do you think your experience at Bath would be the same at Lancaster? i’m starting biochem there in September :)
I think it would be really similar for sure! The labs may be different and the chemistry ratio may be different but other than that should be similar :)
I want to know the difference between biochemistry engineering and bachelor's in biochemistry??
Pls help 🌟🙂
Biochemical engineering covers different topics, if you do a search of the two you’ll find all the differences :)
I'm msc medical biochem student, i want to be researcher. What should i do?
I do health and social care a level which one of my units is science of nutrition I think it’s like biochemistry, do I need a science? Or am I okay with my health and social
Most biochemistry Uni courses require certain a levels (biology and sometimes chemistry) - best to check on the website of the uni
But as a general rule I think yes that would be viewed as a science
@@NooStenningVideos okay thank you! X
I'm a high school final year student. I wish to study biochemistry but it's not in my country's university.
what can you do with a biochem degree? :)
I’m doing a whole video on that! X
i’m going to study biomedical sciences at Lancaster University this year.
do you think most of this video is relevant both university & content wise?
thank you!!
I would say for the most part yes! If you go on their website you’ll be able to see their specific modules which may be different based on the professors at Lancaster and their specialities! But I don’t see there being major differences x
Hey, would you recommend doing biochemistry undergraduate and medicine postgraduate?
I don’t have experience so I can’t really say but I know it’s something a few people do! It’s obviously a long way to do medicine which is already so long but it’s another angle for sure
So unrelated but u look EXACTLY like Tracy beaker x
Hello, I am from India. I like biochemistry and thinking to take it. But it has any carrer?
If you’re wondering about jobs it leads in to I’ll have a video on that very soon- but it has a huge number of careers yes x
@@NooStenningVideos Okay, Thank you😇
@@prince-ko3ve same here ..iam from India.i have plan to do bsc biochemistry 😀
@@ganapathibhat5360 brooo what u do now plz contact me plzzzzz give ur no
@@ganapathibhat5360 bro hi what are u doing plz give me your what's app no plz
I am really interested in biochemistry but I’m not sure what the career opportunities are. If you could tell me some careers paths from biochem please do so
can you do a final year results day video!!!x
Maybe! I pretty much know what I’ll get so it probably won’t be that interesting haha x
you look like tessa brooks omg
Yours is soooo Biology based, but at UEA the compulsories are half bio and half chem, and then the optionals you can pick all chemistry modules, and it’s chemistry that’s the required subject, not biology lmao
Ah that’s interesting! Chemistry is our required subject too I guess it’s just an assumption of that knowledge and it being enough for the field haha x
Hello Ms. Noo Stenning new subscribers here.
Im interested taking a Biochemistry course but i dont know what to do?
1.What is the prerequisite to become Biochemistry?
2. Does Biochemistry have a undergraduate program?
I hope you notice me and know the answer to my question.
Thank you.
@Noo Stenning
You usually need a certain level of biology and sometimes chemistry/maths - all entry requirements are on university websites! And yes it has many :)
@@NooStenningVideos hi thank you for your response. Any suggestion what should i take first (course/'s) or should i take biology course then enroll to biochemistry?
Thank you for your guidance.
If you go to an individual university website and then to the biochemistry course page and entry requirements you’ll see what’s needed :) mostly it’s a biology course for example for UK unis A Level Biology (if you mean extra learning, try some books or google online biochemistry/neuroscience/plant biochemistry courses)
So very nice
this might seem like a stupid question but do you think it would be possible to do a biochemistry degree without a level biology?? I’m reallly interested in the course but I’m half way through my a levels and do maths and chemistry, but not biology :( I really want to study biochem and quite a few unis I’ve been looking at don’t require it, but I don’t want to find myself struggling with the degree :/ helpp ahh
If the unis say you don’t need it then you should be fine! I would personally say it’s going to be tough because it’s very biology based but maybe some unis have courses that teach it to you in the first year or something! You can always brush up over the summer before too or right now haha! X
Noo Stenning ahh thank you! Your series seems like it’s going to be really helpful 😊😊
Sophie Kitchen hi, you could do an access course in science (which covers biology, chemistry and physics) and then go to uni afterwards. An access corses lasts a year and basically catches you up with the stuff you would have covered in A levels. Most unis in the UK accept access courses.
I am also stuck with the same problem.
I liked your video but your accent is hard for me to understand, could you please start putting captions on your videos, it would be really helpful
Ah are there not automatic ones? I’ve checked them and they seem to be fairly accurate most of the time so I thought they were ok, I’ll try and make sure there’s something x
Please can you help me with careers in biochemistry
Completely off topic from the video!!!!
At Bath university when do you buy your freshers wristband ?
I bought mine either late August I think (pretty sure that’s when they’re released) x
when is the next video loved this one so much ?!!! xx
this week! I have exams so I’m not entirely sure when yet but keep an eye out/notifs on x
i,m also a biochem student can i learn more about you
Heya how’s career prospects and do we haveee to do a masters
Career prospects are good! Lots of options in the field and transferable skills- and no you don’t :)
obviously the more intense science you want to do as a job the better it is to have a higher level of qualification but many people don’t do masters x
Were you ever interested in pharmacy
Not pharmacy no, pharmacology yes :)
did you ever have to give presentations
yes a couple of times, but not very many and often it was to do with the modules you picked!
@@NooStenningVideos thank you and how many people did you have to do it infront of
Again it totally depended, normally seminar size so 15 ish and then a couple of people only a couple of times very brief things in front of the lecture so 80 at a guess, and then a few in front of 4 ish
@@NooStenningVideos ah right I see I'm kinda interested in a biochemistry course but the idea of presentations kinda of puts me off
There’s honestly barely any, definitely not enough to be a reason not to take the course!
I need closure on what became of the bird!
I never saw him again 👀
Fabulous girl ,Thank you for so fast English speaking 😑 . I already have a BSc in Biochemistry. Since 2008 😑 So old.
Genetics > biochem
Jk great video
You should be doing cosmetology
