About the course

In the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry program, students gain an understanding of how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within and between living cells, which in turn relates greatly to understanding the structures and functions of tissues, organs, organisms and microorganisms. Graduates apply their knowledge of this fusion of chemistry and biology to technological problems in areas as diverse as environmental processes, the development of new biomaterials and new forms of renewable energy. They are prepared to work in academia, for startups and research and for development laboratories associated with practically every advanced technological field, including medicine, energy, biotechnology, computing and agriculture.
