biochemistry accrediation

i've recently found out about accredited courses and at the university im going to biochemistry isn't accredited unlike some other universities where it is, i was just wondering if this was something i should be concerned about, what does it mean if the course isn't accredited? also is this really relevant for biochemistry or is it more to do with other courses, thank you!

i don't think it really matters but depends on the uni. i'm going to do biological sciences (biochem) at the uni of edinburgh and i don't think that's accredited. i will still get my degree at the end of it.

i think a lot of newer unis get their courses accredited because they are less established and well known so the accreditation sort of shows that the degree is actually up to standard, whereas older, more established unis don't need it as it's sort of implied that the degree will be up to standard.

im not an expert on this though, just a guess.

okay thank you but that does make sense, im going cardiff which is quite old as well
