COURSE CURRICULUM

The Biochemistry degree program is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular and cellular processes that underpin life. In the first year, students are introduced to the core principles of both biology and chemistry, ensuring a broad foundation before specializing. The modules include essential topics such as biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and chemistry, with a focus on developing research skills and practical knowledge in laboratory settings. This year also emphasizes the development of critical skills in data science using tools like the R software package, which supports students' understanding of experimental data analysis. As students progress to the second year, the focus shifts towards deeper knowledge in biochemistry and related fields like medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, and biophysical chemistry. Students are equipped with the tools to explore more specialized areas, particularly in the study of proteins, enzymes, and their roles in cellular functions, signaling, and metabolism. The final year allows students to specialize further, with a strong emphasis on protein engineering, molecular enzymology, and independent research. A substantial research project, chosen from a variety of themes such as laboratory research, bioinformatics, and data analysis, forms a key component of the final year, helping students apply their knowledge to real-world scientific problems. This degree prepares graduates for a wide range of careers in biochemistry, biotechnology, and medicine, equipping them with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience essential for success in the field.
