Bachelor of Science majoring in Biochemistry

Studying science is your key to understanding how the world works. Majoring in Biochemistry, you’ll learn to appreciate life at a molecular level – investigating proteins, DNA, RNA and other important molecules. Explore how cells use energy, and how genes control everything from our characteristics to our susceptibility to certain diseases. Be taught by experts and examine how ethical issues in science affect the world around us. 

Build hands-on experience in real laboratories. With over 180 hours of lab practicals, you’ll develop advanced skills in molecular biology and biomedical science. A professional placement in your final year will expand your skills and confidence. 

Let your curiosity guide you as you apply scientific research to real-world challenges. With a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biochemistry, you’ll graduate ready to make an impact in medicine, research, drug development, environmental science or biotechnology.
