Overview

Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

Biochemists study the molecular structures and processes that form the foundation for living matter.

In this course, you will study the core principles of chemistry, molecular structure and chemical reactivity and how they can be applied to biological molecules.

You will study second-and third-year units in biological, medicinal and natural product chemistry; and complementary units in cell biology, molecular biology and molecular genetics.

You’ll investigate molecular systems regulating cell growth, including signalling, defence, and related metabolic pathways.

You’ll also study molecular recognition and its applications in biosensors, drug design and optimisation, and monitoring the effects exogenous compounds can have on living systems.

Within this major, you can select a range of specialisations to study. Chemistry and Environmental Biology are the two specialisations that best complement this degree.

July intake: Course duration may exceed three years due to unit prerequisites.
