Bachelor of Science (Biochemistry)
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living organisms
and involves defining the structure, organisation, function
and regulation of living organisms in molecular terms. This
program has a multi-disciplinary approach and a flexible structure
that provides students with the choice of three strands: a
Structural Stream, a Cell and Molecular Stream and a Metabolism
and Physiology Stream. Information on these streams can be
obtained from the Department s of Biological Sciences and
Chemistry or the Faculty of Science Office. Approval is required
for entry to this degree program.
The Joint Coordinators of the program are Associate Professor
John Carver (Department of Chemistry) and Associate Professor
Ross Lilley (Department of Biological Sciences).
