BSc & BSc(Hons): Pathways of Study
Biochemistry aims to explain the structure and function of all living things at the molecular level, and so is important as a foundation for many fields of endeavour.
Pathways of study for a Biochemistry major
In addition to the Major Subject Requirements for Biochemistry, your course can include other papers related to your main interests.
- Biochemistry and molecular biology
- Biochemical basis of disease
- Biochemistry of drug design and function
- Bioinformatics, functional genomics, and proteomics - New focus for BIOC354 in 2011
- Molecular genetics
- Metabolism and nutrition
- Plant molecular biology
- Macromolecular structure and chemistry
This information provides suggestions only, as there are many different ways of tailoring a BSc degree in Biochemistry to individual interests.
Biochemistry papers can complement your skills and knowledge when majoring in another subject.
- A Biochemistry minor is another option.
- Double majors (eg Biochemistry and Genetics) are also possible in a BSc.
Other Majors and degrees can include biochemistry papers
Some examples:
- Genetics
- Plant Biotechnology
- BAppSci(Bachelor of Applied Science)
- BBiomedSc (Molecular Basis of Health and Disease)(Bachelor of Biomedical Science)
