B.Sc. (Hons.) (Biochemistry)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

B.Sc. (Hons.) Biochemistry or Bachelor of Science Honours in Biochemistry is undergraduate Biochemistry course. Biochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with plant and animals and their life processes. Course offers the student an interdisciplinary study of chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics. It provides an excellent preparation for all graduate work/research in biochemistry and the molecular sciences, and professional areas leading into the health sciences. Use of free electives also enables the student to achieve considerable knowledge of other disciplines such as chemical and bio molecular engineering, bioinformatics (computing), biomedical engineering, and biology. The biochemistry curriculum enables majors who are interested in medical, dental, or law school to meet admission requirements of these schools.
