If you decide you dont like an optional module, you can change it within the first two weeks of each semester. You will also have to choose your modules for the next academic year around May. The links below are for the biochemistry module lists at each level of study (but be sure to double check which apply to biochemistry, and the prerequisites!)
Societies
We've already mentioned MBBSoc, which is for everything to do with biochemistry and microbiology. However, with the hundereds of societies that the university has to offer, here are a few more we think you might like:
The Data Science Society
If you like coding and data analysis, you might like this!
The First Gen in STEM Society
Lots of cool networking events to help you get started.
The MBB Journal Society
Present interesting research papers to peers.
The Microscopy Society
It's not just the ones you'll use in labs!

Textbooks:
'Biochemistry 9th Edition' - Berg et. al.
'Molecular Biology of the Cell 4th edition' - Alberts
Those are two I think will come in most useful and cover the broadest range of topics, but your lecturers should give you a list of any reading they think you might find useful. Some advice: at level 1 and 2, you only really need to do extra reading if you want clarification, or if you're interested in a particular topic. The lecture slides will have all the content you need for exams.
The Biochemistry Society:
It's not a university society, by the way. It's a website (click here) made to help students, with resources for understanding content and links to training and internships.
Student-made Resources:
Other resources:
Here's a YouTube playlist covering a range of biochemistry topics, from amino acids to cancer.
And another, which has more specific focus on the stages of the Krebs cycle.
