COURSE CURRICULUM

The Biochemistry major within the Bachelor program requires students to complete 360 credit points, including a 120 credit point major focused on understanding the molecular and cellular foundations of life. The major is structured across three levels of study, allowing students to progressively develop knowledge of biochemical principles, laboratory techniques, and scientific research methods. Students explore key areas related to the structure and function of biological molecules, cellular processes, genetics, metabolism, and the molecular mechanisms that influence health and disease. Through practical laboratory learning and scientific investigation, students develop skills in experimental design, data analysis, problem-solving, and critical evaluation of biological information. The major helps students understand how biochemical discoveries contribute to advances in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical research, including the development of new treatments and therapies. Students gain the ability to apply scientific reasoning to complex biological challenges and investigate how molecular processes affect organisms from simple microorganisms to humans. Graduates develop a strong foundation for careers in biomedical research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industries, healthcare, and scientific laboratories. The Biochemistry major also provides valuable preparation for postgraduate study in areas such as medical research, molecular biology, and related health sciences, enabling students to contribute to innovations that improve understanding of life and human health.
