Welcome
The Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Biological Sciences jointly offer a multi-disciplinary major in Biochemistry for the 40-course Bachelor of Science (BSc). You can also select a General Major in the Sciences and choose Biochemistry courses as options.
The Biochemistry program will help you develop a strong background in the basic sciences and extensive laboratory skills. Thereby, the biochemistry program provides background for a diverse range of careers in the life sciences, including professional programs such as medicine and veterinary medicine.
Biochemistry is the study of all living systems at the molecular level. It looks at the chemical and physical basis of life and how these microcosms interact with their environments. It is a demanding field that combines expertise in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.
Versatility and intense curiosity are the hallmarks of successful Biochemists, as they draw on knowledge from a variety of fields to investigate the molecules that facilitate life.
